Place & story
A brewery and a malting house
At Killeigh, within Geashill barony, Samuel Lewis recorded a brewery and malting house in 1837. His village description also listed fairs on 1 July and 17 October. These businesses and trading days form a commercial counterpart to the religious buildings and ruins described in the same entry. They concern Killeigh itself, rather than brewing across the entire barony. [2]
