Saul
In 1932,
to celebrate the 1,500 anniversary of the landing of St. Patrick in
432AD, the existing church at Saul was constructed to replace the
former minimal whitewashed building.
The church was built from Mourne Granite - the same of which was used for the slab in the Down Cathedral to honour the burial of St. Patrick in the grounds. The church was designed by Henry Seaver from Belfast designed the church in the Celtic tradition.
Not far from the Church at Saul lies the Mearne Well, this well has
been associated with St. Patrick. This well formed part of the original
Abbey of Saul and tradition has it that St. Patrick baptized the daughter
of Dichu in the waters of this spring
