Standing right next to Londonderry’s Siege Museum is The First Derry Presbyterian Church opened back in 1780. It was built over its predecessor from 100 years prior (whose founding stone can still be seen atop the entrance) and is still used as a place of worship to this day.
Even though recently renovated, the building retains the same architectural feel of a dated 18th century construction.
Following the renovation the Temple also houses The Blue Coat School Visitor Centre, which tells a complete story of Presbyterianism in Derry.
