- I have now obtained a further history of the early churches of the district, and this I judge to be still more authentic than that which I have already penned, as I got it from an old person named McEneany who has a great knowledge of the history of the district.About the time of the reformation a Catholic church stood in the town-land of Shankill on land which is now the property of a man called John Roe. This church was attended by a congregation from all the surrounding districts. There was a grave-yard attached to this church.
