…”Presbyterians witnessing the reformed faith in the area had sought to form a congregation from as early as 1792, and Newtowncunningham’s Presbyterian Church was finally formed in 1830. The Church building was built in one year by voluntary labour. Newtowncunningham Presbyterian Church was united with Crossroads from 1957 until 1974 and is now united with Ray. The Rev. Nigel D. Craig is the current minister and membership stands at about sixty-five families.”

Neil,

I do not know the location of the old Presbyterian church at Newtowncunningham. Once I return from my holidays I will try to locate it.

Thanks for posting your question to Elder-McGilligan.com.

Dear sir,
this is not really a comment, i’m looking for information
on the Presbyterian Church in Newtowncunningham, i’m aware
that the present church building was erected in 1881.
What i want to know is the location of the old building.
Was there a Presbyterian Church building in Newtowncunningham
in or around 1800-1850, and if so,what was its location.

Yours sincerly.

Neil McDaid.
