St. Paul's Church is a small Church of Ireland church located in the seaside village of Ardmore, County Waterford in Ireland. Built between 1835 and 1840 (and dated 1838 by the incision on the tower),[2] it is situated on a hill overlooking the town, but not as far up the hill as Ardmore's notable St. Declan's Monastery ruins.
The church is built on a cross plan,[2] with a three-storey tower facing the front and adorned with four pinnacles. The church's octagonal font is said to reach back to the 16th century, and came from Declan's cathedral. In the church, there is also a silver chalice dated 1726,[3] restored to the church by the antiquarian Robert Day after it had disappeared from the church.[4] The church was consecrated on September 15, 1841.[5]
The church is registered under reg. no. 22827005 by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.
