Ballygarrett Wexford<\/h1>\n

\"TheBallygarrett is a small village on the coast road between Courtown and Kilmuckridge, which boasts a fine history. Its high tower church is centre of the village street. Donaghmore, (Domhnach Mor – the great church) near Ballygarrett was visited by Saint Patrick. While this person can be described as our first tourist, there is evidence here of a Christian site from the earliest times.<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church dates from 1839 and its pews are made from the timbers of the wrecked sailing ship the ‘Pomona’. The ruins of a Church of Ireland Church disused since 1840 are on the site of the original foundation. At Glascarrig, the remains of a thirteenth century Benedictine Priory can be seen and a well preserved moat. Unlike others, it is said to be a Norman earthwork and marks the probable site of Glascarrig Castle, built subsequent to 1175.<\/p>\n

There are two impressive monuments situated in the grounds of the Catholic Church. One to mark the Ballygarrett – Texas (Refugio) Connection, and a memorial to those millions who died in the Great Famine of 1847.<\/p>\n
