Cathedral Old Leighlin
The Cathedral at Old Leighlin is said to have been built by Donatus circa 1230. It was thought to have been the successor of a wooden structure which had been destroyed by fire. It is composed of a square tower with belfry which is about 60 feet high. The walls are solidly constructed throughout. The Gothic windows vary in size and design and feature delicate tracery. The print shown here is from one published by S.Hooper in September, 1792.
