Peter Murray traces the evolution of Christchurch in Cork, from an historic parish church to its latest incarnation as a venue for the arts.

Standing about fifty metres west of Grand Parade, a broad thoroughfare in Cork’s city centre, the historic building known as Christchurch has just been given a new lease of life, having become an integral part of the lively Triskel Arts Centre (Fig. 4).
