   In 1885 Bassett's "Wexford Borough Guide and   

   Directory" the following description of Camolin appeared

Long, broad and comfortable looking street forms the village of Camolin, which is a quarter of a mile from the station of  Dublin,Wicklow,and Wexford railway 6 miles from Gorey. It derives its name from a religious house founded by St.Molin, second bishop of Ferns, who died in the seventh century ,small ruins of which are to be found on the Norrismount estate. A pattern fair is held annually, on the 9th of July , but its popularity is waning. Camolin is in the Barony of Scarawalsh, and in 1881 the population of village and townsland was estimated at 416. Among the handsome private residences of the vicinity are those of Major Morgan George Lloyd, Camolin Park and Rev. Francis Brownrigg, Norrismount.
