Christ Church Cathedral Dublin Ireland - Cathedrals on Waymarking.com

An extended quire was added in the 14th century, and the collapse of the south wall of the nave in 1562 necessitated a temporary rebuilding, which lasted until the 1870s! George Edmund Street, one of the foremost Victorian architects of the time, undertook a complete restoration of Christ Church between 1871-8, at the expense of a Dublin whiskey distiller, Henry Roe, who gave £230,000 (£23m today!) to save the cathedral.

As part of this restoration, Street transformed the cathedral and added an elegant bridge across the road to a new hall built for the General Synod of the Church of Ireland, today used for an exhibition on medieval Dublin called Dvblinia.

Christian worship is the primary purpose of the cathedral and visitors of all denominations are welcome at our Sunday and weekday services (Anglican rite). The choral services are sung by the cathedral choir, which traces its origins to the choir school founded in 1480. The cathedral choir consists of lay vicars choral (including, unusually, sopranos and female altos). This choir is complemented by the cathedral girls' choir, which was set up in 1995, to offer the girls of Dublin the special experience that is the privilege of a cathedral chorister.

A donation is requested of visitors visiting the cathedral, often to their surprise. We rely on the vital generosity of our visitors to preserve this building for future generations.
