IS PATRIC'S STONE  

AT DOWNPATRICK THE  

SAINT'S RESTING PALACE?  

Downpatrick, twenty-two miles  

south of Belfast, near Strangford  

Lough, is place of great antiquity,  

having many associations with St.  

Patrick, who is reputed to have been  

buried there. He died in the year 493  

in the monastery at Saul, two miles north  

of Downpatrick. In the foreground of  

the accompanying illustration appears the  

rough granite monolith, engraved with  

the one word “Patric” which covers the  

site of what is supposed to be the Saint’s  

grave.  

In 1177 the King of Ulster was  

defeated by the Anglo-Norman knight  

John de Courcy at Downpatrick. Soon  

after this event de Courcy erected there  

Benedictine Abbey, splendid edifice to  

which the remains of St. Brigid and St.  

Columba were brought with great pomp  

and ceremony.  

The subsequent history of Downpat-  

rick was stormy, with battles and burn-  

ings through the centuries so that little  

survives of the original town. It was  

sacked in 1316 by Edward Bruce and  

the Cathedral was destroyed. After it  

had been rebuilt it was again destroyed  

this time by Lord Deputy Grey in 1538  

—a misdeed which was largely respon-  

sible for his execution three years later.  

The cathedral did not quickly recover  

from this desecration and it remained in  

completely ruined condition until 1790  

when rebuilding was commenced and the  

present fabric dates from that period.  

It is built in the Perpendicular style and  

constructed of local Silurian slate. All  

that survives of the older church are the  

elaborately carved stone capitals. Above  

the large east window are the battered  

effigies of St. Brigid, St. Columba and  

St. Patrick.  

No. 259: the Homeland Series by The House of Seppelt.
