Tour Of Trim, County Meath, Ireland 1989

A tour of of my fathers home town, Trim in Ireland. Filmed by my dad Chris and navigated by his sister Kathleen in 1989. Copyright.

Trim, Irish Baile Átha Troim ("Ford of the Elder Bushes"), market town and seat of County Meath, Ireland, on the River Boyne. It was important from ancient times and was the seat of a bishopric. St. Patrick is said to have founded a monastery there in 432; there are remnants of a 13th-century Augustinian abbey, two gates from the town walls, and extensive remains of Trim Castle, which was founded in 1173 and was incorporated in the 13th century into the largest Anglo-Norman fortress in Ireland. St. Patrick's Church (1499) with its castellated tower became a Church of Ireland.
