  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are many old graveyards here in Wexford. The most of them are very, very old. In Wexford many of them were Cromwell. Some of the names are given such as St. Mary Magdalen, St. Dulogues, St Peters, St Mary's and Selskar Abbey.
    St Dulogues Parish was at Bishops Water but none of the ruins are to be seen there.
    St Mary Magdalens Church was sacked and ruined and was used for a dwelling house afterwards. Doctor Luke Wadding was buried at St Mary's and an old bell which was used in St Mary's graveyard is now to be seen at Castlebridge. The Old Pound was once called the Deddery Well
