Hi Mandy,
Are you looking for information on the churches of every branch of the Christian faith?
The
Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church in Ballyhackamore was built in 1927. I'm not certain if it was built near the site of an earlier church. There may not have been a Presbyterian church in the village until the Iron Church was built in 1908 as the
Ballyhackamore Village Trust website mentions the Jubilee National School on the Sandown Road being used for church services.
St Columba's CoI Church on the King's Road, Knock, Belfast was within walking distance from Ballyhackamore but it wasn't there in 1840. It was consecrated in 1896.
I'll have to see if I can find a map if the area which can be posted on the thread. The Sandown Road runs between the Upper Newtownards Road from Ballyhackamore to the Knock Road. The King's Road is on your left hand side heading to the Knock Road. When you get to the junction turn right and go up a hill. At the top of the hill on the right hand side are the ruins of the old Knock Parish church
which was the main Church of Ireland in the parish until it combined with Breda to become Knockbreda parish in 1658. It was called the church of Cave Columkille and it wasn't a very big church. Christopher
