A third picture of the spire of St Comcille's in Holywood (see Image), this time from directly underneath. The spire had the following inscription dating from the original church, dedicated in 1874: "Have mercy O Lord on the soul of Patrick Read, at whose bequest this tower was completed AD1890. The Church of St. Columba dedicated June 14th 1874" When the spire was repaired following the fire of 1989 the following inscription was added: "New church built and tower restored 1993 AD" The spire still contains the original bell. However, to prevent further damage to the structure, this is now struck electronically rather than rung by hand.
