Uncover Our Stories- St Columb's Cathedral (Derry-Londonderry City of Culture 2013)
'Boys Day Out 7,' Inside St Columb's Cathedral 1633
Us three old Belfast boys are on a Belfast train day trip, free bus/rail pass, day to the Maiden City of Derry/Londonderry. Here we look down from our Derrys Walls walk to the recently restored historic St Columb's Church of Ireland Cathedral. We decide to do the self guided tour ( kept right by parishioner Billy ) of this fanatstic building. We were not disappointed. I have to say that this has been the most interesting so far of all the churches anywhere that i have visited and videoed. It has history, including much Seige related history, people, artifacts, architecture and local stories/folklore stretching right back to the 1600s. In all that time it has been a living vibrant place of worship and it still is at the heart of the community here. This open cathedral has to be a must see for anyone interested in history coming to Derry/Londonderry.
St Columb's Cathedral
Standing on a prominent site within Derry's famous walls St columb's is the City of Londonderry's oldest building. It was completed and opened in 1633. Construction work began in 1628 and the stone which records completion is to be seen in the porch of the Cathedral: The Cathedral was built of stone from local quarries and skilled stone cutters and masons had to be procured. The old pillars and arches bear testimony to sound judgement and first-rate craftsmanship.
St Columb's is the first Cathedral in the British 'Isles to have been built after the Reformation and is a fine example of 'Planter's Gothic'. There was practically no change in the appearance of the building from 1633 to 1776 when the Bishop of Derry (the 4th Earl of Bristol) added 21 feet to the tower, and placed above this a very tall and graceful stone spire, making a total height of 221 feet, but about 20 years afterwards, his addition to the tower showed signs of giving way and the whole was taken down and rebuilt, the tower being completed in 1802 and the spire being added about 20 years later. The nave however remained exactly as it was until 1825 when the South Porch was removed. In 1827 the eastern turrets were either rebuilt or else surmounted by domes; before this they appear with battlements. In 1861/2 the interior of the Cathedral was entirely re-modelled, the old square pews were removed, and all the present oak work of the nave was provided, and the galleries in the aisles taken away. Many other improvements were made in the ornaments and furnishings of the building. The addition of the chancel in 1887 completed the Cathedral on the plan of its founders - the foundations had actually been laid in 1633 and were discovered during building operations.
Further
St Columb's Cathedral is the mother church of the Church of Ireland Diocese of Derry and Raphoe and the parish church of Templemore.
It is dedicated to Saint Columba, the Irish monk who established a Christian settlement in the area before being exiled from Ireland and introducing Christianity to Scotland and northern England.
he present structure, located close to the original, was completed in 1633 by William Parrot, in the Planter's Gothic style. Also in the porch is an inscription:
If stones could speake
then London's prayse
should sound who
built this church and
cittie from the grounde.
St. Columb's has in its possession many documents dating back from the Siege of Derry. They have portraits of William of Orange and the original keys of the city.
The Cathedral also contains a memorial to Valentine Munbee McMaster VC.
St Columb's is the first cathedral to be built by the Anglican church after the Reformation in the British Isles and the first non-RC cathedral to be built in Europe.

북아일랜드 여정의 마지막 종착지는 런던데리! 제 2의 도시이자 대립과 갈등의 상처를 고스란히 안고 살아가는 곳이다. 그런데 이상하게도 공식지명은 런던데리인데 시내를 돌아보면 데리라고만 되어 있거나 데리와 런던데리가 병기돼 있다. “전 이곳을 런던데리라 부르지 않고 데리라 부릅니다. 이건 신교와 구교간의 문제입니다.“ ”당신은 확실히 데리라고 부르는군요.“ ”네, 전 데리라고 부릅니다.“ 원래 이곳의 이름은 아일랜드어에서 유래한 데리였다. 그러나 영국 식민지 시절 영국 국왕에 의해 ‘런던’이 앞에 붙여지며 런던데리가 됐다. 우리로 치자면 일제 치하에 부산이 하루아침에 ‘도쿄부산’으로 개명된 셈이니 이들이 느끼는 감정을 짐작하고도 남음이 있다. 여기도 벨파스트와 마찬가지로 영국에서 이주해온 신교도들이 사는 지역과 원래 이 땅에 살고 있던 아일랜드인들이 대부분인 구교도 지역이 구분돼 있다. 그들이 다니는 교회와 성당도 마찬가지다. 신교도 거주 지역에는 성 콜럼 교회가 있고, 저 멀리 구교도 거주 지역엔 성 유진 성당이 있다. 데리는 도시전체가 성곽 안에 위치해 아담한 느낌을 준다. 그리고 이젠 지난날의 생채기를 딛고 세상과 호흡하기 위해 노력 중이다. “캐나다, 미국, 호주에서 왔습니다.” “데리를 구경해 보니 어떤가요?” “정말 아름다워요. 멋진 곳입니다.” 그렇다. 데리는 원래 아름다운 곳이다. 데리 안의 작은 마을인 이 공예마을은 방송국의 세트장을 연상시킬 정도로 깜찍하고 예쁘다. 아이리쉬 샵이라? 한 가게의 외관에 끌려 안으로 들어가 본다. 이 녀석들은 아일랜드의 상징적 요정인 레프리콘이란다. 레프리콘을 비롯해, 가게 안은 아일랜드에 의한, 아일랜드를 위한 기념품으로 가득하다.

Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Derry is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning oak grove. In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The district administered by Derry City and Strabane District Council contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border with County Donegal, with which it has had a close link for many centuries. The person traditionally seen as the founder of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille, a holy man from Tír Chonaill, the old name for almost all of modern County Donegal, of which the west bank of the Foyle was a part before 1610. In 2013, Derry was the inaugural UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in 2010.

이건 또 무엇인가? 심상치 않게 생긴 높은 벽이 벨파스트 시내를 둘로 나누며 길게 늘어서 있다. 신·구교간의 갈등의 시대는 이미 끝났건만 그 장벽은 여전히 제거되지 못한 채 도시를 면도날처럼 나누고 있다. 이름만 평화의 벽으로 바뀌었을 뿐이다. “이 벽은 신, 구교 간의 갈등이 가장 극심할 때 지어졌죠. 양쪽 진영을 분리하기 위해서입니다.” “이스라엘과 팔레스타인 간의 관계를 보는 듯하군요.” “베를린 장벽에서 아이디어를 얻었다고 합니다.” 한 도시 안에 국경보다 더 높은 장벽이라니. 믿기지 않았다. 장벽 바로 너머에는 가톨릭교도들이 사는 폴즈 지구가 있다. 서로 다른 신도 아니고 같은 신을 믿으며 서로를 불신하고 증오하는 이율배반의 현장. 아일랜드와 영국, 신교와 구교 사이에서 머리가 잠시 혼란스럽다. 벽 사이로 난 철문이 유난히 을씨년스럽다. “저 철문은 밤10시가 되면 닫힙니다. 가장 마지막으로 닫히는 문이죠. 10시면 자동으로 문이 닫힙니다.” 나는 다시 한 번 걸어서 철문을 건너본다. 갈등의 골이 깊을수록 화합의 길도 그만큼 험한 것일까? 오늘 밤도 어김없이 10시만 되면 저 철문은 굳게 닫힐 것이다. 엎어지면 코 닿을 거리지만 서로간의 마음의 거리는 잔뜩 찌푸린 날씨만큼이나 멀기만 하다.

Top best places to visit in Derry, Northern Ireland
Derry or, more officially, Londonderry is the second largest city of Northern Ireland.
The city is also nicknamed the Maiden City by virtue of the fact that its walls were never breached despite being besieged on three separate occasions.
Derry is the only remaining walled city in Ireland that is completely intact and it is one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe.
There are many historical buildings that can be visited when walking down the City Walls.
St Columb’s Cathedral is the mother church of the Ireland Diocese of Derry.
Situated along the City Walls, First Derry Presbyterian Church has recently been re-opened and is now used as a place of worship.
Another admirable church of great importance is the neo-Gothic St Augustine’s Church.
Located within the historic walls Tower Museum, the main museum of the city, tells the story of the city from prehistory to the present.
Right in the center of Derry is a monument dedicated to the citizens who lost their lives during World War I, the Diamond War Memorial.
In the Bogside neighborhood is a historical landmark, a free-standing gable wall, that commemorates Free Derry.
In the same area of the Free Derry Museum is the Bloody Sunday Memorial.
But the Bogside is best known for its large political murals found on the walls of Free Derry Corner.
A more contemporary sculpture in the city, known as Hands Across the Divide, serves as a symbol of the two communities coming together.
Outside of the city walls are many important landmarks worth visiting, such as:
St Eugene’s Cathedral, where there is the Roman Catholic minster.
St Columba’s Church Long Tower, the Roman Catholic Church with the beautiful altar.
And the Guildhall, a large hall where many social and political events have been held.
The Guildhall is located between City Walls and the River Foyle.

UK - Apprentice Boys Parade goes ahead
T/I: 10:55:00 GS: 10:18:53
Catholics in Londonderry (Derry) in Northern Ireland on Saturday (10/8) cancelled a protest rally, clearing the way for a peaceful Protestant parade. An announcement by the Bogside Residents Association, representing Catholics, was the last in a series of concessions by both
Catholics and Protestants that defused a potentially explosive situation. More than 15,000 Protestants converged on Londonderry from all over Northern Ireland for the annual Apprentice Boys Parade. The march, which commemorates the heroism of 13 apprentices who thwarted a Catholic attack on the city 300 years ago by locking its gates, now symbolises the determination of loyalists to resist all attempts by republicans to reunite Ireland.

Bishops Gate; The City Gate from the Walled City in Derry
Bishops gate in Derry/Londonderry is one of four original gates into the walled city. Today we would list 6 in total, which include - Butcher Gate, Bishop Gate, Ferryquay Gate, Castle Gate, New Gate and The Magazine Gate.
Bishop's Gate was replaced by the present structure in 1789 - which was to mark the first centenary of the closing of the gates by The Apprentice Boys of Derry.
You will see this on any tour of the walls of derry - hence why it is often referred to as the walled city. Derry would also be called the maiden city of Northern Ireland or Northern Ireland's second largest city and the 4th largest in Ireland.
The history that is carried behind these gates found in Derry/Londonderry make the need to see them in real more powerful and it usually astonishes people once they come to the location and stand in front of any of these gates and take in all the history standing in front of them and the beauty they tend to carry as well.
The gate which we visited this time in Derry/Londonderry was Bishops Gate and this present gate was built at the suggestion of Bishop Hervey in 1789 to celebrate the centenary of the siege. The head in the gate that is facing Bishop Street represents the River Boyne crowned by a laurel wreath and the date refers to the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, while the head that is facing outwards is the River Foyle and the date 1689 and the ship breaking the boom recall the relief of the 1689 siege.
Some of the names which are usually given to specific cities and towns tend to refer to a specific story that is carried behind and when it comes to referring to Derry/Londonderry as the Walled City then it is important for people to know about the walls of Derry which are surrounding a specific area there and which then have those different gates which we are talking about and which Bishops Gate is one of them.
Derry/Londonderry is the second largest city in Northern Ireland and these two different names and the fourth largest city in the island of Ireland, bringing to it lots of tourists to come and check what this big city has to offer them. The name Derry came from the old prefix Doire which means oak grove and this was actually the name mostly used until in 1613 when the city was granted the Royal Charter by King James I and gained the London prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds, and that is the reason why you will find some people referring to it as Derry and other calling it Londonderry (
This old Walled City as it is referred to, lies at River Foyle which is spanned by two bridges with the Peace Bridge being the latest one to be built there ( that connect Ebrington Square to the rest of the city centre. The views which one get to see in Derry-Londonderry especially for those by the river that are found there, always make this city different along with the history that it has to offer.
The Bishops Gate and even the rest of those gates found in the city are all from the different touristic attractions that people have to visit when they are staying at Derry. Among those which will stand on the top of our list, we will suggest visiting Austins which was a department store in the Diamond Area of Derry that was established back in 1830 and which is now standing as the world's oldest department store to be ever built. There is also the Guildhall building in Londonderry and the square in front of it where lots of events tend to take place ( Adding to these different suggestions which we have, there is also the famous St. Columb's Cathedral and St. Columb's Park that is also found there ( and the Bishop Street Courthouse.
These are considered the highlights of Derry-Londonderry or which is also known as the Walled City or the Maiden City. Bishops Gate might be from the most important of these attractions because it tells the story of giving this city the name of the Walled City and thus give people the chance to understand the place they are visiting and the things they are going to see there.
Bishops Gate is one of the four gates which are found in the city, so if you are going to visit Derry-Londonderry soon and you are thinking about those places which you are supposed to see in this second largest city of Northern Ireland then checking this gate should be a must along with those other attractions which we have suggested.
It is also a great idea to pass by the rest of those gates if you have the time and if your plan will not be ruined.These will tell much about the city and will bring you through different historical places that you are going to enjoy in this beautiful and old city in Northern Ireland.
