According to the Coleraine 400th Celebration website,
St Patrick’s Church is the oldest standing building in Coleraine today. In the 1990s archaeologists discovered its medieval foundations, which can be seen inside today. The Honourable The Irish Society made improvements to St Patrick’s by 1613, and presented a communion plate and chalice to the Church. The church was re-built between 1883 – 1885, with alterations made to the interior in the 1990s.
Both inside and outside the Church are memorials and gravestones which pay tribute to people who lived in Coleraine in the 17th century. These include familiar family names such as Dodington, Rowley, Beresford, Munro and Hamilton.
