Dromore Presbyterian Church - when was it built?
« on: Monday 07 August 17 07:58 BST (UK) »
Hi
Could anyone tell me when the Dromore Presbyterian Church was built?  I've looked on the internet but I can't find anything that tells me the year it was built.
Many Thanks

I am looking for the Dromore, Tyrone church, that's why I posted the question to the Tyrone list.

Absolutely right, KGarrad. Must go to Specsavers  ;D

Lewis' Topographical Dictionary (1837) mentions church was built in 1694-

Have a book downstairs which might give more recent details so will post more later.

The 1694 date is for the Church of Ireland church.  I am looking for the year the Presbyterian Church was built.  I just can't find it anywhere.
Thanks

Thank you aghadowey, that is a great answer.  It means my husband's family attended the church as it now stands in Dromore.  They didn't leave for Australia until 1856.
I appreciate your time & effort, thank you again.
