The Church of St Iberius - Wexford Camino
The Church of St Iberius
This is a Church of Ireland dedicated to St Ibar. There has been a church on this site from Viking times.
The present church is the work of the architect Daniel Robertson who built the two cathedrals in Waterford. The gallery was built to accommodate members of the regiments stationed in Wexford Barracks in the 18th century.
The window commemorates Richard Elgee who served as rector here. His brother John Elgee married Sarah Kingsbury. Their daughter, Jane Francesa Elgee was the mother of Oscar Wilde. The names on the pulpit are those of the Church of Ireland who died in the two world wars.
Prayer
Thou didst prepare the way for St. Patrick by thy fearless preaching in Ireland, O holy Father Ibar. Pray for the present dwellers in Wexford and Leinster and for all in these Islands, that the true Faith may spread in our own days, to the glory of God. Amen.
