Virtual Tour of St. Augustine’s Church

Take a virtual tour of the St. Augustine’s Church,  known locally as the “Wee Church on the Walls” and its  historical graveyard.  It is thought to be the site of the 6th Century monastery in the Doire Calgach area on the east side of the River Foyle near the city walls and founded by St. Colmcille (Columba). The present building dates from 1872 and is in the design of 13th Century gothic style.
