For this Chapter of the report I will summarise the stops along the heritage trail as well as locations of interest relevant to the trail. 1
2.1 St. Brackens church – My Research Trail Task
St Bracken’s church is the first stop on the Columba heritage trail. It used to be the sight of a monastery. The monastery was founded by St. Bracken( who also set up other monastic settlements).
It is thought that he followed Colmcille`s example when he set up his monasteries. The original church was set up by St. Bracken in 1192 but bishop O Gallah had the church rebuilt in 1585.
The church located on upper Magazine Street is Derry`s first Presbyterian church. Presbyterianism started being practiseding in in Derry during the 1600s. The church itself was built in 1690 when Queen Mary gave a large sum of money to the Presbyterians living in the city for their role in defending the city during a siege in 1689. The building that is present today on the street was built in 1780. Behind the churchchurch, there is a blue coat visitor centre. The building is open to visitors and people of the church`s religion.

2.2 St. Augustine’s Church
St. Augustine’s Church is located along the Derry walls near where the Walker memorial used to be. There is a story that St. Columba built his first fortified monastic settlement here. The church was apparently built in a clearing in surrounded by oak trees. The Augustine church is unique in its positioning. This is because instead of facing east to west like most other Anglican churches it faces north east to south west.
The original church was destroyed and the stones were used to make the city walls. The church that is there today was built in 1872 under Bishop William Alexander. The church architecture makes use of symbols that were associated with the church at the time such as the dove and the oak leaf.

2.3 Long Tower Church
The long tower church is claimed to be the original site of St. Columba`s monastery. Although it cannot be proven that the site was originally the site of Columba’s monastery the artwork in and surrounding the church has a lot of material based around St. Columba. The original church was built in 1783. Before it was built mass was said near a hawthorn tree. Father John Lynch raised the funds to have the original church to be built in the early 1800s AND IN 1810 the construction of the church began. There is a series of ceramic reliefs that show stories of Columba’s life beside the church.

2.4 Carlisle Road Methodist Church
The building of this church began in 1901 and finished in 1903. The church was opened by the by the Duchess of Abercorn. The congregation of the church got considerably smaller during the troubles

due to the families living near the church moving away for their families’ safety. The church itself remained open during the troubles even though many other churches around the city closed.

3.0 Other Sites of Interest
3.1 St. Column`s Cathedral
St. Colm`s Cathedral was built in 1633 and was the first protestant cathedral built in the UK after the Reformation. The building is the oldest surviving structure in Derry. There are stained glass windows inside the church that depict three different parts of the saint’s life. There is also a statue of Saint Columba in the Pulpit and a mosaic of him at the back of the altar.

3.2 St. Colm`s Park House
This building used to be a manor house in the centre of St. Colm`s Park. The house was used to house British soldiers during the Second World War because of its proximity to Ebrington Barracks and Clooney Base.
The house was renovated in 1993 so it could be used as a venue for cross-community programs. The house also got an extension in 2010. The house contains facilities such as a café, rooms to host different programs as well as rooms available to groups doing residential.
3.3 Peace Bridge
The Peace Bridge was opened in June 25th 2011. It was funded by an EU program called the Peace III program. The bridge cost 14.5 million and is constantly used on a daily basis. It was opened by the EU Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hann as well as Martin Mc. Guinness the Peace Bridge is a monument to the work that has gone into the Peace Process.
