Penilaian dan konteks dalam inventaris
Teks dari NIAH Irlandia · bahasa Inggris
This imposing cathedral is considered to be one of the finest classical style cathedrals/churches in Ireland and represents one of the largest building projects undertaken by the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland during the nineteenth century. The height and distinctive profile of the Italianate campanile tower makes it a dominant feature on the skyline of Longford Town. The well-crafted, if rather austere, exterior conceals a fine Italian Renaissance style interior that is remarkable for its use of space, and for the richness and complexity of its decoration. Also of note are the relatively unusual north-south orientation and the rear elevation (north), which incorporates clergy accommodation or offices and looks decidedly domestic. The construction of this cathedral was originally commissioned by Bishop O’Higgins in 1840, a man noted for his extravagant taste and ambitious plans. The foundation stone was reputedly moved from the original St. Mel’s Cathedral at Ardagh. Work was suspended in 1846 after the onset of the Great Famine (1845 - c. 1849) and recommenced in 1853. It was dedicated in 1856 and consecrated in 1893. It is the work of three eminent architects of the nineteenth century: John B. Keane (d. 1859), who made the original plans; John Bourke (d. 1871), who designed the campanile tower and continued the works after Keane’s death; and George C. Ashlin (1837 - 1921) who designed or supervised the construction of the entrance portico. The sculpture to the pediment, depicting St. Patrick consecrating St. Mel as the first bishop of the diocese, is in Portland stone and Knockcroghery limestone and is the work of George Smyth. The chapels to the two transepts have stained glass windows by the Harry Clarke studios. This building represents one of the most important elements of the architectural heritage of County Longford. However, its massive bulk looks out of place in its location on the periphery of Longford Town. The good quality entrance gates and railings (13008010) complete the setting of this notable composition.
