English: The medieval parish church of St. Dubhán, located in Churchtown, Hook Peninsula, incorporates remainings of an earlier church which was extended to the east with a choir and a three-light ogee-headed window in the east. Dubhán was a Welsh saint of the 5th century who founded the site and after whom the peninsula was named Rinn Dubháin. As dubhán is also the Irish word for a fishing hook, the name was later translated to Hook Peninsula. (See Billy Colfer, The Hook Peninsula, p. 23–27; Michael J. Moore, Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford, p. 124.)
