Place & story
Thirty-three townlands in 1819
Moy’s ecclesiastical district was formed in 1819 by separating thirty-three townlands from Clonfeacle, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. Twenty-seven were in Tyrone and six in Armagh. This records a church district’s formation across the county boundary, rather than a change to the counties themselves or proof that all forms of parish boundary changed together. [2]
Continuing support from the rector
The new perpetual curacy remained in the patronage of Clonfeacle’s rector. Lewis recorded an annual stipend of £100: £75 came from the rector and £25 from Primate Boulter’s augmentation fund. Its separate status therefore coexisted with a specified financial contribution from Clonfeacle. The account does not establish how long that funding arrangement continued. [2]
