May the blessings of Saint Patrick be upon you on this national saint's day wherever you may be!
St. Patrick was a Welshman, brought here initially as a slave and put minding pigs on the sides of Slemish in Ulster. His escape and subsequent return must have been traumatic but his conversion of the people in the country resonates down the centuries.
Now finding Christ Church in Bray is helped only by the spire sticking up out of the trees. The two jarvies waiting patiently are hoping for a few drinks for the day that's in it!
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Circa 1865 - 1914

The companion photo of the interior, catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000338621, shows that the arcade of pointed arches behind the alter are not yet decorated with the glass mosaics representing the Transfiguration of Our Lord. As this was one of the first adornments to the interior of Christ Church. web.archive.org/web/20070702035448/http://bray.dublin.ang... , it suggests 1870 - 1880 period.

“The centre mosaic was erected in memory of Edward Lysaght Griffin, a British peer and resident of Violet Hill, Bray who died in 1884. Also missing from our photo are the marble mosaic panels flanking the centre altar …… these marble panels were completed between 1891 and 1895” christchurchbray.ie/the-interior/ So date between 1870 - 1884
