Saint Patrick's Church is a
Protestant church in Ireland.[1] The church was, however, rebuilt in its current form in 1866. The church is of granite[2]
and sits on a hill on Church Street on the east side of the city and occupies a commanding position overlooking the city centre.
The church is notable for its unusual spire – consisting of a small steeple at each corner of the clock tower. This may have prompted Jonathan Swift, on his first visit to the town, to issue the following comment on Newry: 'High Church, Low Steeple; Dirty Streets, Proud People'.
The church was listed "B+" in 1976.[2]
