Trim Cathedral (also known as St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral), is an Anglican building in the town of Trim, County Meath. Although austere on the outside, the building is a gem on the inside. A must-see if you’re ever in Meath!

St Patrick’s Cathedral in Trim dates back to the 16th century. Its tower is a vestige of the medieval parish church that originally stood here.
The first bishops have been enthroned here since 1536, but the name “cathedral” has only been used since 1955. You can admire a magnificent clock at the top of the tower. It pays tribute to Dean Butler, a great historian and native of the town of Trim.
Other noteworthy features include the stained glass window in the west window of Trim Cathdral: this was the first tinted glass ever produced by artist Edward Burne-Jones.
Free entry to the cathedral. Photos are tolerated, provided you are discreet and donate a few coins to the building…
