Place & story
Services before the Presbyterian congregation assembled
In 1837 Samuel Lewis described a new church under construction at Sixmilecross, intended to serve a district drawn from Termonmaguirk and Errigal Keerogue parishes. While building continued, Church of Ireland worship took place in the Presbyterian chapel each Sunday before the Presbyterian congregation assembled. His account records a shared place of worship and a carefully ordered Sunday timetable during the building project. [2]
