- Selskar_Abbey abstract "Selskar Abbey is a ruined twelfth-century abbey in Wexford Town. it was an Augustinian House whose proper name was the Priory of St. Peter and St. Paul. The ruins are of the abbey founded about 1190 by Alexander de la Roche, ancestor of the Roche family who hold the title Baron Fermoy.There was an earlier church on the site: it was there in 1169 that Diarmait Mac Murchada signed the first Anglo-Irish peace treaty. Basila de Clare, sister of Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, is said to have been married there.There is a long-standing tradition that Henry II spent Lent 1172 here and did penance for the murder of Thomas Becket. It is unclear how much truth there is in the story although Henry was in Ireland at the time and Becket's murder was still a subject of great controversy.We have a glimpse of the abbey's inner life through a letter which John Topcliffe, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland addressed to Henry VIII about 1512. He complained that the monks who time out of mind had chosen their own Prior, had elected a " good blessed religious man" as Prior but that the Abbot had turned him out. It is unclear why the Chief Justice, an Englishman without local ties, was so concerned, nor why he though the King would be interested. The King's reply if any is not recorded. The Abbey was suppressed in 1542 and given to John Parker, the Master of the Rolls in Ireland. It later passed to the Stafford family. The Abbey was sacked by Oliver Cromwell's troops in 1649.Selskar Abbey is now part of the Westgate Heritage Tower; it reopened to the public in July 2012.".
