Pennyburn Chapel, West Elevation
St Patrick's, Pennyburn, generally known as Pennyburn Chapel, part of the RC Diocese of Derry and about a mile north of Guildhall Square. Not of any particular architectural merit that I know of but the jaunty "copper biretta"-topped tower caught my eye as I drove back into the centre of Derry from a futile expedition to find the perfect spot to photograph the River Foyle meandering through the city.
The foundation stone was laid by the Most Rev'd Bernard O'Kane DD, Bishop of Derry, on 25 February 1932. The architect was Edward J Toye, designer of many civil and ecclesiastical buildings in the city, and the builder was FG O'Hare.
