Fix this textST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL STANDS ON ARMAGH SOIL THE SAINT ONCE TROD
Fix this textFOR fifteen centuries Armagh has been the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland
Fix this textand for two thousand years much of the country’s history has been
Fix this textwritten in and around the city. Its origin is lost in the mists of the past ana
Fix this textalthough it was a place of great importance in the pre-Christian era theie
Fix this textare no records to show the date of its actual founding before ->5O b.c. What
Fix this textis certain, however, is the fact that St. Patrick built a church in Armagh 1
Fix this textthe fifth century on the hill-top site where nojv stands the Cathedral of St.
Fix this textPatrick.
Fix this textAround the original church of St. Patrick there grew up many religious
Fix this texthouses, monasteries and nunneries and also a great school which was famous
Fix this textthroughout Europe. At one time there were seven thousand students, includ-
Fix this texting many from England and the Continent, at the college in Armagh.
Fix this textArmagh’s fame and prosperity, however, did not survive long, for in
Fix this textthe year 830 a party of Norsemen captured and sacked the city. Two years
Fix this textlater they returned in greater numbers and pillaged the monasteries, burned the
Fix this textpriceless manuscripts in which the monks had chronicled the legends and
Fix this texthistory of the country and, finally, the bishop, the monks, priests and student.
Fix this textwere driven from the city. Many battles were fought in and around Armagh,
Fix this textbut, though often defeated, the invaders were always reinforced from beyond
Fix this textthe North Sea. Finally, in 1014, the Irish under Brian Boru defeated the
Fix this textDanes so decisively at Clontarf that their power over Ireland was at last
Fix this textbroken for ever. In this historic battle Brian himself, his son and his nephew
Fix this textwere killed and all three were buried in the Cathedral where a tablet marks
Fix this textthe site of Brian B'oru’s grave.
Fix this textPart of the Cathedral, as it stands today, dates from 1268 but great
Fix this textimprovements were carried out by Archbishop Robinson m 1765 and most
Fix this textof the fabric dates from that time. Further rebuilding was carried out in
Fix this text182-2 when £lB.OOO was spent on renovation. The Cathedra , which has a
Fix this textbattlemented central tower, is in the Perpendicular Gothic style and contains
Fix this textsome verv fine marble monuments and sculptures by Roubiliac and Rysbrack.
