Christ Church Cathedral

This guide to Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin follows an unfinished chase from the eighteen hundreds, when a cat cornered a rat inside a narrow organ pipe and neither one came back out. It traces how workers found the two mummified animals decades later, why the cathedral chose to display rather than dispose of them, and how the story reached the writer James Joyce, who wrote it into Finnegans Wake. You'll also hear what the cathedral's vast medieval crypt was once rented out for.
