The church was built in the early Victorian era; construction began in 1836 and it was consecrated in 1841. It was funded by the Board of First Fruits and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, which was a common source of support for Church of Ireland buildings in that period. While the original architect is not clearly documented, the church’s design reflects the modest rural church style of its time, typical of Board of First Fruits projects in the 19th century.

Mullaghfad Church sits in a very remote rural location, nestled among hills and forested land near the border of County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Its isolated position means it is some distance from nearby settlements.

In recent decades, the church has been largely unused for regular worship and is described as being in a somewhat run-down state. Electric power was never installed, giving the building a distinctive character but also practical limitations.

Mullaghfad Church is part of the Aghalurcher Group of Parishes within the Church of Ireland Diocese of Clogher, alongside other parishes like Colebrooke and Cooneen, reflecting historic and present ecclesiastical arrangements in this rural part of Fermanagh
