Scope and content
A view over the town of Armagh. The image is taken from an elevated position on Sandy Hill, the site of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The statue in the foreground honours William Crolly (1780-1849), the Archbishop of Armagh from 1835 to 1849 who was instrumental in securing the site for the cathedral and who laid its foundation stone on St. Patrick’s Day in 1840.
