John’s Lane Church

St Audoen's Church, founded in 1190, is located in Dublin's Old Town. It is the oldest parish church in use in Dublin, a rare example of medieval architecture in Dublin. In 1825 the church building was in a state of ruin, parts of the church were closed or roofless. The architect Thomas Drew was the first to draw serious attention to the architectural and historical importance of the church in 1866. In 1826, the seventeenth-century tower was remodelled by Henry Aaron Baker, but it was not until the major restoration in 1982 that the tower was secured. A Catholic church of the same name is located next door.

St. Paul's Church is a former Catholic church, now used by a group of young Catholics and the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. The church was built between 1835 and 1837 according to the plans of Patrick Byrne, who also designed the nearby St. Audoen Catholic Church and the Church of the Immaculate Conception (Adam and Eve's) on the Merchant's Quay.

The Church of the Immaculate Conception, also known as Adam and Eve, is a Franciscan church built between 1834 and 1889. The church was built after the Catholic emancipation of 1829. In the days of hiding, the Franciscan friars of Dublin discreetly said mass at the tavern of Adam and Eve, hence the popular name of today's church. The church was designed by architect Patrick Byrne, who had planned a tower at the entrance to Merchant's Quay. However, due to financial problems, the church was built without a nave or tower. The church was originally dedicated to Saint Francis but in 1889 it was rededicated to the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady.
