About
There is a tradition that Saint Patrick himself marked out the site of this prominent church. Timber foundations located during the building of the Church Halls have been dated to 700AD. It is known that the earlier church on this site was rebuilt by Sir Hugh Montgomery in 1626 – just one year short of 400 years of history. This building largely remains today with additions and widening in 1833 and 1881. The church clock was installed in the Church Tower in 1892 as a Memorial to Ellen de Lacherois of the Manor House Donaghadee. Beneath the church lies the vault of the De Lacherois Family. There are many interesting plaques and memorials on the walls including that to Donaghadee’s VC hero William David Kenny who earned this prestigious award posthumously in the Waziristan Campaign of 1920. The Church today is a vibrant Church of Ireland Parish Church and will be open on Saturday 13th September for Guided Tours.
