I love that window too, and would have liked to shoot more from the inside, but the sacristan was having none of it on the day I took these photos. Oh well next time.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Jennifer<br /><br />I deleted my previous reply because I forgot to mention that the rose medallion window is one of three on the church. There is one on both sides of the Cathedral as well.Éire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-9319449486597493422012-04-10T11:56:15.546+01:002012-04-10T11:56:15.546+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Éire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-4887359981233605952012-04-10T11:53:42.153+01:002012-04-10T11:53:42.153+01:00Hi Claudia,

St. Colman's was constructed over a significant period of time, around 50 years. Construction began in 1867/68, and completely ended in 1919. Apparently the townsfolk had a lot to say about it. Various committees requested over 200 changes to be made to the plans along the way.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-17049833956419273762012-04-10T11:50:09.118+01:002012-04-10T11:50:09.118+01:00Hi Aillin,
