NUMBER 172

BENCHMARKS continued
 
This one is on Saint Michan's Church on the eponymous Church Street in Dublin.

Below: The 'mark on Saint Michan's Church.

Above: The entrance to Saint Michan's Church - founded 1095, according to the sign - with the 'mark just to the bottom-right of the door. Benchmarker has never visited the vaults of the church but did call one Sunday morning years ago to find out that they are not open on Sundays. Ironic or what?
