context_page_description: St. Michael's Church was a Roman Catholic and later Church of Ireland church which was located in High Street, Dublin, Ireland.
context_section_description: A chapel was originally erected by Donat, Archbishop of Dublin, in 1076, which was converted into a parish church by Archbishop Richard Talbot in 1417. It was used by the Corporation of Shoe-makers, a guild. It was situated in High Street, at the corner of Christ Church lane, immediately opposite the western end of the cathedral, where the former Synod Hall now stands. In 1554 St. Michael's was one of three Prebends in Christ Church set up by Archbishop Browne.
  For a number of years it fell into ruin, but was rebuilt in 1815, when Dr. Graves, Dean of Armagh, was Prebendary. It was mostly demolished (except the tower) by George Edmund Street later in the 19th century during his restoration of Christ Church Cathedral. The tower has been incorporated into the Synod Hall.
