St Macartan's Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Monaghan. It was built between 1861 and 1893 and is the only Catholic cathedral in the county. The architect James Joseph McCarthy (1817-1882) was in charge of the works and designed the cathedral in a 14th-century Gothic architectural style.

St Macartin's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Enniskillen. The first church on the site of the present cathedral was built around 1627 as part of the town of Enniskillen. By 1832 the church had become structurally defective and was replaced by the present building, which was completed in 1842 as St Anne's Parish Church and re-consecrated as St Mac Cairthind's Cathedral in 1923, making it the second cathedral in the Diocese of Clogher.

The St Magdalene’s Church (in Dutch, Heilige Magdalenakerka is a Catholic building constructed between 1853 and 1856 by the English architect Thomas Harper King).

Built in 1796 on the site of an earlier medieval church by the first Lord Suffield, it was one of the first Gothic Revival buildings in Norfolk. It contains the font, tombs and memorials from the earlier church and the records name incumbents from 1200.

The first view one has of the village is that of the tower of the greenstone church of St Margaret with its dominating red clock. Created in 1787 by horologist Edmund Howard, the long drop clock is truly a remarkable piece of engineering.

Built of greenstone in the early English style, St Margaret's is partly 13th century with traces of Norman and the external features mainly Victorian.

Dedicated to St Margaret, this grade II* listed church has been constructed of greenstone, limestone and red brick to create a wonderful patchwork effect that catches the light beautifully in the setting sun.

Delve a little into the history behind this small village in Lincolnshire and you will soon find its hugely important link to America. You see the mud and stud thatch cottages in this village were the blueprint for the very first houses built in Jamestown America in 1607, not only that but probably built by the same carpenter as well.

St Margaret's at Langton was also much restored also in 1890 though a little mediaeval stonework remains in the north aisle, visible from outside if you can't get in. Look for the unusual font made from several bits of masonry, the base being part of a Norman roof vault. There's a welcome seat in the churchyard too for anyone needing a rest!

St Margaret's was built in 1911 to the designs of Kirkwall architect James Baikie. It is the most northerly Catholic church in the UK. One of the most notable features is the high altar, carved from Belgian oak and consisting of six saints in elaborate niches on either side of the central crucifix and tabernacle. The church is dominated by three large stained glass windows made by C R Sinclair in 1986, depicting Shetland life and some wildlife.
