| | St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unusually it is not a sole seat of a bishop, as Dublin's Church of Ireland Archbishop has his seat in Christ Church Cathedral, with St. Patrick's being seen as the National Cathedral for the whole island, drawing chapter members from each of the twelve dioceses of the Church of Ireland. |
 | | Circa 1191, during the episcopate of John Comyn, Archbishop of Dublin, the original, wooden, Celtic St. Patrick's church on the site, which was outside the walls of Dublin, was raised to the status of cathedral. |
 | | After the Reformation in England, St Patricks became a Protestant Cathedral, although most of the population of the surrounding Pale remained Roman Catholics. |
