Place & story
A parish without its own functioning church
Samuel Lewis reported no church serving Aghacrew’s Protestant inhabitants in 1837: they attended services at Toam, about three miles away. His description also places High Park, the residence of the Reverend John Hunt, within the parish. These details distinguish a local clerical residence from the separate place where parishioners worshipped; Lewis did not say that services took place at High Park. [2]
