About this audio guide
This guide to Saint Nicholas' Collegiate Church in Galway looks at the medieval church from the water rather than the street, through the eyes of the ship's captains steering into Galway Bay. It brings in a fourth-century bishop better known today by another name, a young architect from the circle of the engineer Alexander Nimmo, and the stone creatures the masons set high on the walls. Best heard outside, where you can see both the spire and the carvings above the entrance.
