St. John's Cathedral, Cashel, Anglican cathedral in Cashel, Ireland
Description

History
The cathedral was constructed in 1784 by architect Oliver Grace following the closure of the medieval structure on the Rock of Cashel in 1721. This Georgian building replaced the earlier site and represented a significant rebuilding of religious infrastructure in the town.
