Armagh City Walking Tour

In 1765 Archbishop Robinson (1708-94) was appointed primate of all-Ireland for the Church of Ireland. Archbishop Robinson, a native of Yorkshire England, arrived with a vision of what he wanted to achieve within the City. He set about rebuilding the City and many of the must see buildings were developed as part of this vision ...'
