Title
St. Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh - Founded by the Saint in 445 A.D.
Description
Major restoration took place between 1834 and 1840 and was carried out by Archbishop Lord John George Beresford who employed one of the most skilled architects of the day in the person of Lewis Nockalls Cottingham.
The most recent restoration took place in 2003/2004, focusing on the fabric of the building. The most acute problem being the repair and replacement of stonework to 11 aisle windows and 8 clerestory windows. In addition there were very necessary interior plaster repairs to the aisles, refurbishing of a portion of the south transept used as the Choir Robing Room, cleaning and repair of stonework and tiled floor in the Choir and Lady Chapel with complete interior redecoration and exterior landscaping.
Sections of an ancient Celtic Cross dating from the 11th Century which at one time stood on the side of the hill to the east of the Cathedral.
