Ballyhogue or Ballyhoge ( Irish: Baile Uí Cheog) [1] is a village and census town in County Wexford, Ireland. The village, which lies in a townland and civil parish of the same name, had a population of 255 people as of the 2022 census. [2] It is 10 km south of Enniscorthy.
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area include a number of ecclesiastical sites and the remains of a hillfort to the south of the village. [3] Some sources associate the ruined church of St. John, and its nearby graveyard, with the Knights Hospitaller. [4]
The local Roman Catholic church, Bellevue church, was built between 1858 and 1860. [5] Depending on the sources, the designs of the church are attributed to either Augustus Pugin (1812–1852), his son Edward Welby Pugin (1834–1875), or architect James Joseph McCarthy (1817–1882). [5] [6]
Ballyhogue National School, also known as Scoil Mhuire National School, had an enrollment of 17 pupils as of 2024. [7] [8]
Near the modern village of Ballyhoge, a triangular inland promontory fort [..] is positioned on the W side of a broad spur between the River Slaney and a small tributary
Sometimes attributed to A.W.N. Pugin [..] but chapel commission could possibly have been inherited by [James Joseph] McCarthy or Edward Welby Pugin
