Philip Herbert Hore’s meticulous history, each volume treats of a different part of the county, from the earliest period to the rebellion of 1798.

The Hore family, of which Philip Herbert Hore was a member, were relatively large landowners and first arrived in County Wexford in the early stages of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland. From that time onwards they played a prominent role in the history of the county.
