MY OCTOBER 2023 VISIT TO DROGHEDA<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I must admit that until today I had never heard of Lagavooren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, built by architect P. J. Dodd, closely resembles the design of Saint Peter’s Parish Church across the river to its north-west. It is a fine example of a late-Victorian interpretation of the French Gothic style. Elaborate carved detailing and an imposing rose window create an impressive and eye-catching north fa\u00e7ade and the church is a focal point within an area composed largely of small residential structures. Fine detailing, tiling, painted decoration and stained glass by Lobin and Mayer add artistic interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
