Place & story
A church of dressed basalt
Drumtullagh Parish Church was built in 1840–41 to a design by Charles Lanyon, according to the congregation’s account published by the National Churches Trust. It stands on Lisnagat Road and uses dressed basalt. The account distinguishes the present building from the nearby old church site at Kilmoyle. It dates Drumtullagh’s emergence as a parish in its own right to 1875; the older Grange of Drumtullagh name therefore belongs to an earlier arrangement. [2]
