6. Church of Ireland Parish House

6. Church of Ireland Parish House

Erected c.I735 by Francis Hutchinson, it became the parish church proper in 1840. Plain of appearance, the church is constructed of fieldstones. A tablet is erected inside the church to the memory of Dr Hutchinson, who is buried in a vault underneath the Sanctuary. Some of the old Communion service ware and a copper collection plate held by the church were gifts from St John O’Neill, who lived briefly in Portglenone Castle. He was an uncle
of Lord O’Neill of Shane’s Castle.
