ST PETER'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Imposing neo-Gothic Catholic church with superb rose window and shrine to St. Oliver Plunkett
Built in 1881 in the neo-Gothic style by John O'Neill and William Henry Byrne, St Peter's Catholic Church is an imposing building, whose façade has a large and superb rose window, which contains in its north transept a curiosity that regularly attracts pilgrims passing through Drogheda: the embalmed head of the martyred St Oliver Plunkett, an archbishop accused of treason to the British crown and executed in 1681 by the English.
