Some Account of St. Brigid, and of the See of Kildare, With Its Bishops

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Some Account of St. Brigid, and of the See of Kildare, With Its Bishops: And of the Cathedral, Now Restored The rebuilding of the Cathedral Church of St. Brigid of Kildare seems to ask such a short statement as is offered in this little pamphlet. Let me emphasize a few leading points. Fourteen hundred years ago the cell of St. Brigid was built under the great oak at Drumcree. Seven hundred years ago the Anglo-Norman settlement of Leinster took place, and from it dates the cathedral which has just been rebuilt. Three hundred and fifty years ago the influence of the Reformation began to be felt, and the first bishop favourable to it occupied the See of Kildare. Two hundred and ten years ago, the cathedral being then wholly in ruins, the choir was rebuilt under Bishop Moreton. Fifty years ago the See was united to those of Dublin and Glendalough. Twenty-six years ago the See of Kildare shared the fate of the other bishoprics of the Church of Ireland by the Act which disestablished and disendowed it. At the same time the work of restoring the cathedral was begun under Archbishop Trench, and is now (1896) happily completed under his successor Lord Plunket.
