Footnote
Ballymote Catholic Church in County Sligo was designed by George Goldie of the London firm Hadfield and Goldie and dedicated in September 1864. Goldie also designed ecclesiastical metalware for Cox & Son in London. From an early date, much of the Cox & Son's success derived from its catalogues for what Thomas Cox called an Ecclesiastical Warehouse; the earliest known catalogue dates from 1866. As well as from Goldie Cox & Son commissioned furniture, metalwork, stained glass and ceramic designs from a number of leading designers including Bruce Talbert, John Moyr Smith and E. W. Godwin.
