History 

St Matthew's replaced an earlier church in Aghadown, which was located on the banks of the River Ilen. This original church was also dedicated to St Matthew, and was built in 1814. The current church stands on a site donated by John H. Becher, and was completed in 1873. Between 1886 and 1957, the Schull and Skibereen Railway line bordered the boundary of the churchyard. Architecture 
St Matthew's was designed by father and son Cork architects Henry and Arthur Hill. It is built in the early French Gothic style. The church's organ was built in London in the early 19th century, and was originally housed in the old church. References
