first derry presbyterian church印象

Mightn't be the first landmark that comes to mind when you think of visiting Derry, but it's a must-see! If you're lucky enough - as my group and I were - to have the Church's Minister (Rev David Latimer) there when you're visiting then your experience is made that much better.... Great energy and a first hand account of the deep history and current significance of the Church. The restoration job on this great building just has to be seen. On the Walls and surrounded by other significant landmarks, this is a place you just have to visit while in the Maiden City.

The Minister, David, is a charming man who is justifiably proud of his church. Possibly worth going to a service if you are there on a Sunday.

Our choir performed in this Church about two weeks ago. One of our groupies, an engineer, saw a female ghost standing not far from him (upper level). It made for quite the excitement among all choir members.

I went to see the church on Monday of this week. It has been restored beautifully - I was fortunate the minister was on hand to guide and offer some of the background and share some amazing stories from the church. It should be considered a must on a tour of Derry.

It was interesting to learn that people first renovated this old, bombed out church, but then had a ceremony of re-opening that included speeches and personages from both sides of Derry's disastrous difficulties, making efforts at reconciliation.

What a fine example of restoration at it's best words fail to express the simple but stunning word that was carried out to restore this unique example of an early Presbyterian church.Worth a visit to see how well the cost of refurbishment was carried out

Guides welcome you to this church and are helpful and knowledgeable. It is tastefully renovated and is testament to the Congregation and their stickability in the face of so much trouble in that area over 30 years. This church is a little oasis of quiet in an otherwise busy place. When we were there we had William Loughlin sing for us, just like that, unaccompanied. He was wonderful and has been singing in the church choir for 72 years! What a joy it was to hear him sing. Pop in to the church when you visit Londonderry.

Classic touring environment for this church period.Once inside, far larger than you can imagine.Tour the outer rooms and chapels as well.Beautiful architecture --impressive set of organ pipes.

Hugely impressive building that's recently been given some TLC with a renovation that shows it off very well. You'll spot it from a walk on the city walls (especially if you get a local guide to give you the info on the more famous buildings you pass by on the walk). Its stature and graceful proportions may look imposing but it's still a welcoming place for worshippers on Sundays.
