St Matthew's replaced an earlier church in Aghadown, which was located on the banks of the River Ilen.[2] This original church was also dedicated to St Matthew,[3] and was built in 1814.[4] The current church stands on a site donated by John H. Becher, and was completed in 1873.[2]
St Matthew's was designed by father and son Cork architects Henry and Arthur Hill. It is built in the early French Gothic style.[5] The church's organ was built in London in the early 19th century, and was originally housed in the old church.[6]
