The Cathedral Church of St Patrick, Trim is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Trim, County Meath in Ireland. It is in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin.
Previously the cathedral of the Diocese of Meath, it is now one of two cathedrals in the United Dioceses of Meath and Kildare.
[edit] History
The tower is a remnant of the medieval parish Church of Trim.[1]
Bishops have been enthroned here since 1536 but it was not raised to Cathedral status until 1955.
The tower clock commemorates Dean Butler, the historian of Trim. Stained glass in the West window was the first ever stained glass designed by Edward Burne Jones. During 1992 the Cathedral was re roofed and beams renewed in the gallery.
