St. Peter's Church of Ireland, Drogheda, Anglican church in Drogheda, Ireland

St. Peter's Church of Ireland is a Georgian Anglican church on the north side of the River Boyne in Drogheda, built in 1753 to designs by Dublin architect Hugh Darley. It replaced a larger Gothic building on the same site. The fourth stage of the spire was added in 1793, attributed to Francis Johnston. The interior was reordered in the late 19th century, with box pews replaced by the present rows.

St. Peter's Church of Ireland stands on a site that was a centre of Christian worship before 1186, when Hugh de Lacy granted it to the Augustinian canons of Llanthony Prima in Wales. The medieval church was replaced by a larger Gothic building, which in turn was replaced by the present Georgian church opened in 1753. The spire's fourth stage was added in 1793, and the interior was reordered in the late 19th century.

The church serves as a center of Anglican worship where locals and visitors gather for regular services throughout the week. The weekly bell ringing connects people to a long tradition of faith that has shaped the community's identity.

The church is located on the north side of the River Boyne in the heart of Drogheda. Regular services are held throughout the week and visitors can find information at the parish office if they want to learn more about visiting.

The churchyard holds a 16th century stone carving showing two shrouded figures that was built into the wall as a memento of death. This unusual medieval artwork is something many visitors overlook but it offers a striking reminder of how people once reflected on mortality.
