Bangor is a town in County Down, situated about fifteen miles from Northern Ireland's capitol city, Belfast.

History[edit]

Founded in 555 AD, Bangor (from the Irish Gaelic "Beannchor") was an important centre of learning and Christianity. From there and the close-by Movilla (now Newtownards), Christian scholars travelled throughout Europe, spreading Christianity.
