Trinity Presbyterian Church - Cork
The congregation was founded by mainly Scottish settlers in Cork in the 1830s who were unhappy with the unorthodox teaching of the 'Old Presbyterian Church' in Princes St (hence the name 'Trinity'). After meeting in rooms in Tuckey Street and in the Baptist Church (then in Marlboro Street); a building was erected in Queen Street (now Father Matthew Street). The present Gothic-style building at Summerhill North dates from 1861 and has three distinctive stained glass windows to represent the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Unusually for Presbyterian buildings, there is a choir gallery at the back of the church where there is an organ built by the Cork firm of Megahy in the 1900s. The Gothic-style small building at the foot of the hill was the Carmichael School (named after a prominent benefactor) and is now leased to a dentists' practice. A larger school building in the grounds continued as Summerhill National School until the 1960s.
