Correct[edit]

This seems to be mostly correct, it may be based on the following web article: My Place Amongst The Stones. I believe it is still a current CofI church. Will see if I can find a more definitive source.

References[edit]

References for this article need a lot of work, but I'm not ready to start on that yet. I include the old but interesting link below since it may some day prove to be of use:

This article is missing lots of key information and dates on the history of the structure. Many of them can be found here, though there are likely even better sources:

Clerkin, Paul (2009). "1664 – Clonfert Cathedral, Co. Galway". Archiseek.
Burke, Donal G. (2011). "Bishop Edward Wolley". Burke's East Galway.

Between these two, we can set the date range of Church of Ireland/Anglican Bishop Edward Wolley's reconstruction of the cathedral to 1664–1678. We also know what the coat of arms associated with the bishopric was (as well as Wolley's own). Another source on the CoA:

Welland, Joseph (2016) [1843–1860]. "Clonfert Diocesan Coat of Arms (Saphire Croziers Saltire Argent)". RCB Library – Architectural Drawings. Dublin: Church of Ireland Representative Church Body Library. – Requires some interpretation; Welland is neither the originator of the arms nor the author of the database entry, but the 19th-century architectural artist who drew the record of the arms and recorded what he saw. He got one tincture as "Argent" (silver/white) when the other source says "Or" (gold/yellow), but given the degraded state of the original painted wooden panel (as seen in the source before this one) such uncertainty is not surprising.
