Bangor Abbey

Bangor Abbey

set out on his famous missionary journey to Europe.

Little remained of the original abbey after repeated attacks by the Danes, who destroyed it in 824. It was restored by Saint Malachy in the 12th century, given to the Franciscans in 1469, and to the Augustinians a century later. It was finally dissolved under James I.

The present Tower of the Abbey dates back to the 14th century.

A painting by Webb depicts Jesus being crucified.
