Barntown
Barntown (Irish: Baile an Bharúnaigh)[1] is a townland and village in County Wexford, Ireland. Located just outside the town of Wexford, as of the 2022 census, Barntown had a population of 505 people.[2]
The remains of Barntown Castle, a Norman tower house, lie to the east of the village of Barntown. This was built by the Roche family,[3] and was used as a watchtower and storehouse for Ferrycarrig Castle.[citation needed]
St Alphonsus Church is the main church of the parish. It was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin, and built in 1848 by the Very Rev Patrick Murphy.[4]
Barntown was joined with the parish of cummers to found the Cummers-Barntown GAA club in 1885.[5]
