Diocese of Clogher (Church of Ireland)

It covers a rural area on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland including much of south west Ulster, taking in most of the counties Fermanagh and Monaghan and parts of counties Cavan, Leitrim and Donegal.

[4] The Diocese was formed in 1111 at the Synod of Rathbreasail as the see for the Kingdom of Uí Chremthainn.

[9] The diocese is rare within the Anglican Communion in having two diocesan cathedrals, the other diocese being Argyll and the Isles in Scotland, with cathedrals at Oban and on the isle of Cumbrae.

[10] During the 18th century Clogher was one of the Bishop’s boroughs of the Parliament of Ireland where the Bishop of the Diocese awarded the parliamentary seat as a gift.

The following is a basic list of the post-Reformation Church of Ireland bishops.
