1.0 – Introduction
The aim of this report is to show a summary of the
production process that happened while creating our
advertisements. This project was a collaboration with
Northwest Regional College and The Churches Trust. Due
to covid 19 restrictions we couldn’t do the project how we
usually would be able too as we had to stick to restrictions
at the time. You can find all my work here:

4.0 - My stops
My stops I focused my project on are St Columbs Park and St Brecans Church. I
worked together on this project with Charmaine Madden. Below is some
information we gathered on our stops.

St Columbs Park House

St Columb’s Park House opened as a peace and reconciliation centre in 1994

offering a shared space for learning, leadership and peaceful activism. Its
mission is to be the heart of the park, helping to nurture peaceful, vibrant and
compassionate communities.

Charity - St Columb’s Park Reconciliation Trust

They complete their aim with a range of projects that help communities and
individuals to work together towards a place where everyone feels valued and

4.0 - My stops
St Brecans Church
St Brecan’s Church is known as one of the oldest buildings in Derry and
only ruins of it remains. It is also the only medieval Church left in the
area.
The building is in St Columb’s Park.
Nicholas Weston who was a Bishop in Derry dismantled the original
building to build a new Palace which never ended up being built.
However, in 1585 Redmond O’Gallagher rebuilt it. St Brecan himself was
a saint in the 5th Century AD.
The original layout was a rectangle with projections of the north and
south walls beyond the east and west gables. In the 13th century the
building was remoulded which is when the arch was added.
