What is recorded here

St Patrick's Church on Donegall Street carries a blue plaque marking the parish where Sir John Lavery was born and baptised in 1856. The Ulster History Circle recorded the honour, preserving a small but vivid link between an ordinary worship space and one of Ireland's most recognised artists. Lavery lived until 1941, carrying that early Donegall identity into a life of painting and public imagination.
