GUEST,forty two Origins: Ballinderry (25) RE: Urgent Need info on Ballinderry 10 Oct 02


Now as it happens there is a Ballinderry Upper and a Ballinderry Lower and also as it happens I live exactly half way between the latter and Aghalee, and yes, it is very pretty. It was an area hit very badly by the famine with many emigrants from that area. There is also a small church between Lower B and the Lough which was destroyed by Cromwell when he wandered through that part of Ireland. There is also a church which still exists today built by one Jeremy Taylor who was private bishop to King Charles I. After the king was executed the bishop moved to Ballinderry which is probably why Cromwell followed and destroyed the old church.

Just a small history lesson!!
