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.
Saul Church
Also known as St Patrick's Memorial Church, it was built in 1932 to commemorate the coming of Patrick 1500 years earlier. Constructed to replicate an earlier church with a round tower, it is the location of Patrick's first sermon and church which was a timber barn. It is considered to be the Cradle of Christianity in Ireland.
