The Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas is without doubt the only building where a Christmas service has been held regularly for over 700 years. It is the largest medieval parish church in Ireland, cruciform in shape, with a large nave, slightly longer than the chancel, flanked by aisles which are wider than the nave. The aisles lead on to the north and south transepts which meet under the tower.

This drawing of the Collegiate Church was done in December 1823 (at about 2pm according to the clock) by EW Thompson. It was presented to the vestry by another EW Thompson of Tullymore, Broughshane, Co Antrim, in 1947.
