The brethren movement had its beginning in Dublin, Ireland in the 1830s. John Nelson Darby, a curate in the Church of Ireland, and others who had become disenchanted with the established church and its rituals, began to meet with a desire to return to a simpler form of worship. This project looks at the places of worship that emerged as this movement grew. These buildings reflect radical rejection of sacramentalism, symbolism and ritual in worship but are now becoming relics of this radical movement as congregations are diminishing and even closing.
