Fix this textIS PATRIC'S STONE
Fix this textAT DOWNPATRICK THE
Fix this textSAINT'S RESTING PALACE?
Fix this textDownpatrick, twenty-two miles
Fix this textsouth of Belfast, near Strangford
Fix this textLough, is a place of great antiquity,
Fix this texthaving many associations with St.
Fix this textPatrick, who is reputed to have been
Fix this textburied there. He died in the year 493
Fix this textin the monastery at Saul, two miles north
Fix this textof Downpatrick. In the foreground of
Fix this textthe accompanying illustration appears the
Fix this textrough granite monolith, engraved with
Fix this textthe one word “Patric” which covers the
Fix this textsite of what is supposed to be the Saint’s
Fix this textgrave.
Fix this textIn 1177 the King of Ulster was
Fix this textdefeated by the Anglo-Norman knight
Fix this textJohn de Courcy at Downpatrick. Soon
Fix this textafter this event de Courcy erected there a
Fix this textBenedictine Abbey, a splendid edifice to
Fix this textwhich the remains of St. Brigid and St.
Fix this textColumba were brought with great pomp
Fix this textand ceremony.
Fix this textThe subsequent history of Downpat-
Fix this textrick was stormy, with battles and burn-
Fix this textings through the centuries so that little
Fix this textsurvives of the original town. It was
Fix this textsacked in 1316 by Edward Bruce and
Fix this textthe Cathedral was destroyed. After it
Fix this texthad been rebuilt it was again destroyed ;
Fix this textthis time by Lord Deputy Grey in 1538
Fix this text—a misdeed which was largely respon-
Fix this textsible for his execution three years later.
Fix this textThe cathedral did not quickly recover
Fix this textfrom this desecration and it remained in
Fix this texta completely ruined condition until 1790
Fix this textwhen rebuilding was commenced and the
Fix this textpresent fabric dates from that period.
Fix this textIt is built in the Perpendicular style and
Fix this textconstructed of local Silurian slate. All
Fix this textthat survives of the older church are the
Fix this textelaborately carved stone capitals. Above
Fix this textthe large east window are the battered
Fix this texteffigies of St. Brigid, St. Columba and
Fix this textSt. Patrick.
