About this Event
The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland and History Hub Ulster welcome you to a talk by Nigel Henderson.
During the German air on Belfast in April and May 1941, seventy-one places of worship were damaged, with eighteen buildings being destroyed or demolished. There was significant damage to twelve churches, necessitating the suspension of services. The damage to the remaining forty-one religious buildings was not sufficient to impede services being held.
This talk will focus on the eighteen religious buildings that were destroyed or had to be demolished, and will include reference to the Great War memorials that were lost. The talk will also cover the reconstruction of the destroyed or demolished churches and, for those that were not rebuilt, there will be references to the merging of congregations.
