St. Peter's Church of Ireland, Drogheda, Anglican church in Drogheda, Ireland
The Georgian architecture church features limestone ashlar walls, late baroque plasterwork, and a spire added in 1793 by architect Francis Johnston.
Founded in 1101, St. Peter's Church stands on a site given to Augustinian canons of Llanthony Prima in Wales by Norman knight Hugh de Lacy.
The church holds regular Anglican services and maintains eight bells that ring twice weekly, continuing centuries of religious traditions in Drogheda.
Located on the north side of River Boyne, the church provides multiple weekly services and maintains an active parish office for community engagement.
The churchyard contains a 16th-century cadaver stone depicting two shrouded figures, integrated into the wall as a reminder of human mortality.
