What remains of the old church in Dromore (from the Irish for a high ridge), County Tyrone. Perched above the village, the ruins may incorporate a medieval place of worship, which was reportedly burnt in 1641 during the Confederate Wars. The church was then rebuilt in 1694 and remained in use until the early 1840s when a new one was erected on another site. The surviving outer walls are surrounded by old gravestones.
Thank you Robert. A simple bucolic building. May I suggest Dromore is ‘Big ridge’ – Drom mór whereas a ‘High ridge’ would be Dromard – Drom ard?
Thank you, I’m sure you’re correct. Since I never studied the Irish language, it is rather unfathomable to me…
