Armagh Cathedral, County Armagh

Armagh

Armagh is the county town of County Armagh; a city and the seat of both the Archbishops of Armagh in both the Church of Ireland and of the Roman Catholic Church. The Church of Ireland cathedral dates back to around 445.

Among the city's chief glories is the public library on Abbey Street, founded in 1771 by Archbishop Richard Robinson, and which is especially rich in 17th and 18th century English books, including Dean Jonathan Swift's own annotated copy of the first edition of his Gulliver's Travels. (Read more)
