Loughinisland Churches
The Loughinisland Churches are the remains of three ruined churches in Loughinisland, County Down, Northern Ireland, dating from the 13th to the 17th centuries. They are situated in Tievenadarragh townland, in a large graveyard on an island in Loughinisland Lake, now reached by a causeway. The churches are state-care historic monuments at grid ref: J4234 4537.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=State Care Historic Monuments )〕
==History==
The earliest recorded reference is to a parish church on the site in 1306. The Middle Church is the oldest, probably from the 13th century. The large North Church was built in the 15th century, probably to replace the Middle Church, and continued in use until 1720. The smallest is the South (MacCartan's) Church, the elaborately carved west door of which has the date 1636 and initials PMC for Phelim MaCartan. This was probably the main burial ground of the MacCartans who had one of their chief seats near to the lake.〔
The North Church was in use until about 1718. Local accounts say that at one time there was an amicable arrangement for the church to be used for both Protestant and Roman Catholic worship, but that a dispute rose one wet Sunday, when Roman Catholics were unwilling to leave the church due to the rain, and free the church up for the Protestants. This displeased the Forde family so much that they dismantled the old church and built a new one in Seaforde which was roofed with the timbers of the old building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Ros Davies' County Down, Northern Ireland Genealogy Research Site )〕
The island and its churches appear in medieval sources under the name ''Lerkes'' or ''Lyrge''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=A Journey through Kinelarty )〕
