The parish church of St Doologe's, which is a corruption of St Olave's, is at the extreme S end of the town. It is the smallest parish in the town, and perhaps in the country, occupying a little more than 1 ha. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 David Browne was the curate of St. Towlocks, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 267). The church is mentioned in a survey of 1662 (ibid. vol. 5, 76, 338) but its location has never been recorded on a map. However, it is thought to have been located near the junction of Lower King St. and Barrack St. (Hadden 1968, 13).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
