Place & story
A church west of its predecessor
Samuel Lewis described Donaghedy’s parish church in 1837 as a small building in the Grecian style, with a cupola and bell at its western end. It stood half a mile west of the old church ruins. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners had recently granted £202 for repairs. Schools for boys and girls adjoined the church and received support from the Marquess of Abercorn and the incumbent. [2]
