St. Peter's Church, Ferns

This curious church has a number of early features; however it appears that it was actually constructed towards the end of the 16th century. There are two windows that most likely originally formed part of the 13th century cathedral nearby and have been reused in this building. There are also the remains of an even older Romanesque window, from the mid-12th century within the church that may have originally formed part of St Mary’s Abbey near the cathedral. It appears then that this church is a relatively late building that was constructed by recycling parts of older churches at Ferns.
