@@markporter-thechurchhistor6784 Theres an interesting story regarding the bell tower at that Church. The church had no bell tower when it was originally built. During the unrest in Ireland, a bell that was made in Londonderry and bound for somewhere in the republic passed through the village and the cart carrying it was damaged. So the bell tower was built to accommodate it.
@@chrisholmes1736 very interesting Chris.Do you have any info on the nine year old who allegedly fought in the siege of Derry who is buried in the churchyard?

The kid could’ve been a helper for an artillery unit. He might’ve held the gunpowder and loaded it in the cannon? Or he could have been a messenger?
@@RevoeLad possibly,but I’d love to know for sure 😀👍👍
