- St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Drogheda
St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Drogheda, Ireland.
The first Church on the site was built in 1791 to a design by Francis Johnston and was partly incorporated into the present building one hundred years later. The facade is an imposing structure in the Gothic style, built of local limestone. It is one of the most notable buildings on West St. in the town centre of Drogheda. An detail image of that building is held at the Highlanes Gallery - Drogheda's municipal art gallery, illustrated on a mid 19th Century (ca. 1861) map of the town created by Isaiah Rowland CE, for further information visit Highlanes Gallery
It is most famous for housing the National Shrine to St. Oliver Plunkett, who was martyred at Tyburn in 1681. The shrine is most elaborate and contains the preserved head of the saint. Also on exhibit is the cell door of Newgate prison in which he spent his last days.
