Welcome To Loughgall

Situated in the heart of County Armagh's apple growing countryside and adjacent to the lake from which its name is derived, the village of Loughgall is renowned for its attractive and pristine appearance which has won it many awards over the years.

 

Indeed for a settlement of its size, just one long street, it has an impressively high proportion of fine buildings from both the Georgian and Regency periods. Over 20 of these buildings are listed by the Environment and Heritage Service as buildings of special architectural or historic interest.

 

The ruined church in the centre of the village, it is claimed, was built on the site of a 13th century church, Today the ruined bell-tower at the top of the west gable is a landmark in the centre of the village. It bears the date 1734 which refers to the beginning of the renovations following the 1641 rebellion.

 

Two Cope families, the local landed gentry, played a very active role in the church since the early 1600s. Entries concerning them in church records are a very regular occurrence, be it baptisms (frequent) or burials (impressive)
