Rebellion of 1798 in Wicklow and Wexford history
A detailed account traces the Wicklow and Wexford insurrection of 1798 from its roots in Dublin and Leinster, through rising violence, Catholic and Protestant loyalties, the role of clergy and Orange Order, and the brutal tactics of the North Cork Militia. It describes early pacific appearances, the shift after Kingsborough’s arrival, mass mobilizations, key engagements at Oulart and Vinegar Hill, mutinies, and the eventual collapse by mid June, with arrests and imprisonments fueling the revolt.

Dr Hook writes to parishioners outlining a plan to create vicarages in all churches and annex districts for pastoral oversight. The aim is 30 parishes in Leeds, with surplus church floors freed for the poor and double fees ended. He would surrender half his income and vest patronage in the bishop, if commissioners approve.
