Trim Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Trim, Ireland
Trim Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral located at the heart of Trim town, featuring a medieval tower and traditional architectural details characteristic of Church of Ireland buildings. The structure combines original stonework with interior fittings that reflect different periods of religious use.
The building began as a medieval parish church and received official cathedral status in 1955 when it was elevated within the Church of Ireland. This designation marked a significant turning point in the site's importance and its function within the diocese.
The cathedral serves as a gathering place for the local Anglican community and hosts regular worship services that connect residents to their faith tradition. Walking through its interior, visitors encounter the active spiritual life that continues to define its purpose in town.
Visitors can enter and photograph inside the cathedral at no cost while respecting the conduct expected at a place of worship. It helps to check opening times in advance, especially if services or events might be taking place during your visit.
The west window displays the first stained glass ever created by Edward Burne-Jones, marking the start of his career in ecclesiastical art. This early work demonstrates the beginning of an artistic legacy that would later influence church art across the period.
