St Johnston
St Johnston, officially Saint Johnstown〔 ((アイルランド語:Baile Suingean)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saint Johnstown: townland, town )〕), is a village, townland, and electoral division in County Donegal in Ireland.〔 It is in the Laggan district of East Donegal on the left bank of the River Foyle. It is in the civil parish of Taughboyne and barony of Raphoe North,〔 on the R236 (Lifford–Newtowncunningham) road where it overlaps the R265 (Carrigans– Raphoe) road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=S.I. No. 400/1994 – Roads Act, 1993 (Declaration of Regional Roads) Order, 1994. )〕 The village is about 12 km south of Derry.
==Architecture==
St. Baithin's Church, the Catholic parish church in the village, was designed by E. W. Godwin, the mid-Victorian British architect. It is a neo-Gothic structure that was built between 1857 and 1860.〔Rowan, Alistair, ''The Buildings of Ireland: North West Ulster'' (popularly known as the ''Pevsner Guide to North West Ulster)'', P. 482. Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 2003. Originally published by Penguin, London, 1979.〕
St. Johnston Presbyterian Church, located on the Derry Road, is the other main structure within the village. Parts of this church may date back to around 1724. However, most of the present neo-Gothic structure was built in the early nineteenth century. The 'thin' neo-Gothic tower was built in 1849.〔Rowan, Alistair, ''The Buildings of Ireland: North West Ulster'', P. 483. Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 2003. Originally published by Penguin, London, 1979.〕 This church, which is owned by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, was severely damaged by a lightning strike in the mid-1980s. The tower of the church was particularly damaged. The building, however, which serves the large Ulster Scots Presbyterian community in this part of The Laggan, had been fully restored by around 1990.
