Aisle

You are standing in an aisle of the main body of 1st Presbyterian Church, Belfast. 

First Presbyterian Church Belfast has an innovative design, elliptical in plan, designed by Roger Mulholland and built between 1781-3.  One of the most impressive of any Presbyterian meeting house in Ireland, this oval church has box pews, intricate wooden carving, monuments to some of Belfast’s leading citizens, and a 1922 First World War memorial by sculptor Rosamund Praeger.

An elegant serpentine gallery stands on Corinthian columns and windows in the centre of the church commemorate members of prominent families.
