The Cathedral and Augustinian Priory, Trim, Co.Meath


The Cathedral and Augustinian Priory of SS Peter and Paul . Built by Simon de Rochfort in about 1202. It was at that time one of the largest cathedrals in Ireland. It was closed in about late 1530s. What remains is only a portion of the former exterior east wall, you can also see the remains of a small medieval parish church. It containes the late sixteenth-century tomb of Sir Lucas Dillon and his wife Jane.
