Ferns Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in County Wexford, Ireland.

Ferns Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral and national monument of Ireland in County Wexford, in the small village of Ferns. The building shows Gothic features such as lancet windows in the east wall and blind arcading in the chancel, though only a portion of the original medieval structure survives today.

The cathedral was built in the 1230s as a Roman Catholic cathedral on a site that had been a center of religious life in Ireland for centuries before that. It was largely destroyed in the Elizabethan period and later partially rebuilt for Anglican use.

Ferns Cathedral still holds regular Anglican services, keeping the building at the center of church life in this small village. Visitors who attend or look inside can see how a medieval space has been quietly adapted for a different Christian tradition over time.

The building can be visited from the outside at any time, but entry inside is only possible during services or when the church is open. Checking with the local parish before your visit is a good idea if you want to see the interior.

The 13th-century bishop's effigy by the font is thought to represent John de St. John, bishop from 1223 to 1253. The chapter stalls now in the chancel were brought from Kilkenny Cathedral, replacing classical stalls that were moved to the chapter house west of the cathedral.
