context_page_description: St. Bride's Church was a Church of Ireland church located in Bride St., Dublin, Ireland. It was closed in 1898 and demolished to make way for social housing.
context_section_description: The original St. Bride's church was an ancient Irish church located south of the walls of Dublin, dating back to pre-Viking times, and dedicated to St. Bridget (Irish: Naomh Bríd). It was located north-east of where St. Patrick's Cathedral now stands. By a grant of St. Laurence O'Toole in 1178, its revenues were appropriated to the Priory of the Holy Trinity (Christ Church Cathedral), but his was later transferred to the Economy Fund of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Until the Reformation its history was devoid of incident.
  The church (now belonging to the Church of Ireland) was rebuilt in 1684 by Nathaniel Foy, rector of St. Bride's, born in York but educated in Dublin. He later became Bishop of Waterford where he founded Bishop Foy's School.
  St. Bride's was closed in 1898, but its fine organ-case can still be seen in the National Museum of Ireland. It was demolished to make way for the housing development for the poor, the Iveagh Trust, financed by Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, which still stands on the spot.
