These pictures form the nucleus of a body of work commissioned by Down County Museum. The resulting exhibition Power of Place, currently on display in the Museum, captures the hidden beauty of the ecclesiastical heritage of County Down.
The pictures also form the background to a large format travelling exhibition In the Footsteps of St Patrick first displayed in the St Patrick Centre in Downpatrick. The aim of this exhibition is to explore some of the local sites, monuments and archaeological discoveries which are linked to the early missionary work of St Patrick and his followers, and to his Early Christian legacy in County Down.
Donaghmore High Cross, Co. Down
Donaghmore is associated with Bishop Mac Erca, son of St Bronagh. In the grounds of the Church of Ireland stands a beautifully carved granite cross with ural carvings and a head ring, the only High Cross in Down to possess this feature. It is a symbol of long-continued Christian worship in the area.
