Ballyoughter Local History & Community Archive
Welcome to Ballyoughter.ie, a community-history website dedicated to Ballyoughter and the surrounding area in north County Wexford. The site explores the history, buildings, landscape and people of a rural community that has retained much of its traditional character.
Ballyoughter is situated approximately 10 kilometres south-west of Gorey. Although development, including the M11 motorway, has affected parts of the surrounding area, Ballyoughter itself retains its rural character.
Explore the Church of the Sacred Heart, Ballyoughter National School, local townlands, historic maps, newspaper archives, photographs and the memories of local people.
The website brings together material from public records, historical publications and family collections. It is an ongoing community-history project based on primary and secondary sources. Contributions, corrections, photographs, memories and alternative interpretations are warmly welcomed from anyone with a connection to Ballyoughter.
