Restoration of St. Patrick's Cathedral
Archbishop Beresford employed Lewis Nockalls Cottingham, one of the most skilled architects at that time to restore St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Cottingham removed the old stunted spire and shored up the belfry stages while he re-built the piers and arches under it. The arcade walls which had fallen away as much as 21 inches from the perpendicular on the south side and 7 inches on the North side, were straightened by means of heated irons, and the clerestory windows which had long been concealed, were opened out, and filled with tracery.
