Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork Ireland [ Video Tour ]
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra) is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin.
Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The original building survived until the 12th century, by when it had either fallen into disuse or been destroyed by the Normans. Around 1536, during the Protestant Reformation, the cathedral became part of the established church, later known as the Church of Ireland. The previous building was constructed in the 1730s, but was widely regarded as plain and featureless.
The cathedral's demolition and rebuild was commissioned in the mid-19th century by an Anglican church intent on strengthening its hand after the reforms of penal law. Work began in 1863, and resulted in the first major commissioned project for the Victorian architect William Burges, who designed most of the cathedral's architecture, sculpture, stained glass, mosaics and interior furniture. Saint Fin Barre's foundation stone was laid in 1865. The cathedral was consecrated in 1870 and the limestone spires completed by October 1879.
The cathedral is mostly built from local stone sourced from Little Island and Fermoy. The exterior is capped by three spires: two on the west front and above where the transept crosses the nave. Many of the external sculptures, including the gargoyles, were modelled by Thomas Nicholls.[1] The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral - Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra) is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Cork city, Ireland. It is in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin. Begun in 1863, the cathedral was the first major work of the Victorian architect William Burges. Previously the cathedral of the Diocese of Cork, it is now one of three cathedrals in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross.
History and architecture[edit]
The current cathedral is built on the site of at least two previous structures dedicated to Finbarr of Cork.The first dated from the 7th century, with works continuing through the 12th century.This building was damaged during the Siege of Cork (1690), and a new structure was built in 1735 - though elements of the earlier spire were retained.
This structure remained until the 1860s, when a competition for the building of a new larger cathedral was held 1862. In February 1863, the designs of the architect William Burges was declared the winner of the competition to build a new cathedral of St Fin Barre.His diary records his reaction - Got Cork! - whilst the cathedral accounts record the payment of the winning prize sum of £100.Building work took seven years before the first service was held in the cathedral in 1870. Building, carving and decoration continued into the 20th century, long after Burges's death in 1881.
The style of the building is Early French, Burges's favoured period and a style he continued to favour throughout his life, choosing it for his own home, The Tower House, in Kensington. The stipulated price for construction was to be £15,000,a sum vastly exceeded. The total cost came to significantly over £100,000.[9] Burges was unconcerned (his own words) in his letter of January 1877 to the Bishop of Cork: (In the future) the whole affair will be on its trial and, the elements of time and cost being forgotten, the result only will be looked at. The great questions will then be, first, is this work beautiful and, secondly, have those to whom it was entrusted, done it with all their heart and all their ability.
Burges oversaw all aspects of the design, including the architecture of the building, the statuary, the stained glass and the internal decoration. The result is undoubtedly Burges's greatest work in ecclesiastical architecture

Cork hungry for back to back Sam success.
2011 National Football League winners, Cork, are now looking to do this Summer what they managed 12 months ago, a clean sweep of league and championship success.
That's according to Leeside hero Paul Kerrigan who says the rebels are as hungry as ever and are keen to win back to back All Ireland Senior success.
St Finbarr's GAA Club in Cork played host to the media event which officially launched the 2011 GAA Football Championship.
Home county man Paul Kerrigan was joined by Pádraic Joyce (Galway), Barry Cahill (Dublin) and Brendan McVeigh (Down) ahead of upcoming provincial activity which will follow Roscommon's competition opener win over New York in Gaelic Park last weekend.
Juvenile members from St Finbarr's were on hand to welcome the footballers to their clubhouse in Togher today and home clubman and Rebel County legend Jimmy Barry Murphy also extended a welcome to the visiting players.
Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael Criostóir Ó Cuana thanked the Cork club for their hospitality in hosting today's event.
He said: This year's competition promises to be every bit as intriguing as those of recent seasons and I suppose the question on everybody's lips is whether Cork can build on their promising early season form to bid for a second consecutive Sam Maguire success after last year's long awaited breakthrough win.
I know for a fact that there are a large number of counties out there who will look to have to have a say in proceedings before the latter stages of the competition.
I think today underlines an important tie between our inter-county game, which is in many ways the shop window for our games, and the club scene which supports it beneath.
All of our players here today learnt their skills at their clubs and I would predict long after hanging up their inter-county boots and jerseys they will return in one guise or another to those same clubs.
I sincerely thank everyone at Naomh Fionnbarra for having us here today and I especially acknowledge the superb work that you are doing here in Cork.
