April 2007 - Trim County Meath Ireland
The Cathedral Church of St. Patrick
The tower is a remnant of the medieval parish Church of Trim.
Bishops have been enthroned here since 1536 but it was not raised to Cathedral status until 1955.
The tower clock commemorates Dean Butler, the historian of Trim. Stained glass in the West window was the first ever stained glass designed by Edward Burne-Jones.
It is quite an impressive church!
