Thomas Duff
Thomas John Duff (1792–1848)〔"Thomas Duff." A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Oxford University Press, 1999, 2006.〕 was an Irish architect from the town (now city) of Newry, County Down. Duff was the principal architect of a number of Roman Catholic churches and cathedrals in the northeast of Ireland.
His work included three churches dedicated to St.Patrick: St. Patrick's Pro-Cathedral, Dundalk (modelled on King's College Chapel, Cambridge); the Cathedral Church of St. Patrick and St. Colman, Newry,〔 〕 and Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh city. Duff also designed St. Patrick's School in Belfast, the city's first National School〔 〕 and believed to be the last remaining Gothic Revival building in Belfast and the museum of the Belfast Natural History Society
==The Cathedral Church of St. Patrick and St. Colman, Newry==
The cathedral in Newry was constructed between 1823 and 1829, and was the first Catholic church to be erected following Catholic Emancipation.〔 The cathedral was described by a contemporary guide book in glowing terms: "This edifice may be ranked among the finest public buildings in Ireland, and is another enduring monument of the genius of Mr. Duff, who has studded the north of the kingdom, as it were, with evidence of his own ability, and of the good sense of his countrymen in employing a native artist."
