A graveyard is beside a Church. A cemetery is away from a Church.
I can't understand why it had to be knocked down. Yes fire damage but it's a shame to see it completely gone
Yes, unfortunately many grand houses in Armagh went the same route. Perhaps it was getting too expensive to maintain anyway.
Well done
Thank you for this wonderful presentation! The combination of map images, overhead drone photos and family tree charts is first rate. I especially liked the discussion between Society members at the end. As an American, I find your Armagh accents and your personalities to be charming! Future generations will treasure what you have provided here. 😊
Does anyone know how John Mant can be contacted via email? I’m doing some research on the local Tynan parish and I have some questions. Thanks

Great memories Bin delivered our milk in the seventies .A very hard working man.
Great tribute i remember Bim delivering to our house in the seventies great. guy.
Thank you for uploading this! Really useful information 👍
Wonderful tour and well done!
I really enjoyed this and added to a project I'm working on. It must have taken you a long time to research all of this, and it's been really useful to me. So thanks so much Hugh.
Hi Hugh, I found this really informative. it's helped me greatly with a project I working on about County Armagh and nearby. I have linked into many points on this video, so many thanks for uploading.
Many thanks for making possible the virtual tour from this side of the pond. For sure, couldn’t have climbed those ditches! Loughadian was townland of my Wilkinson, buried in Old Acton cemetery, my first time to view this area.
An update on the Drumsallagh Bell, which I said was in the Edinburgh Museum in Scotland. It is currently on loan and on display in the Ulster Museum.
As far as I can find out, this was first broadcast on Tuesday 24th November, 2009
At the beginning of video, what are the black oval drum-like objects behind the cars?
Hello Sue. Those are called round bales, full of cut grass and are used to feed animals in the winter.
Thank you Helena, good deal of research !
I remember after Martin Shepherd retired from his milk run in the Tandragee area, we got our milk from Bim. We lived at Cargans, Old Scarva Road. Bim was always immaculately turned out and totally reliable. Regards to the family and Roisin who I worked with as a student in Tayto. Great bit of social history. Well done Felix.
Thoroughly enjoyed this memory of Bim Rafferty. Thankyou Felix.
Great video really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next video upload from the society! You should discuss the recognised individuals of the village more often. Poyntzpass always has unique and fun story’s to share. Feels like we are getting to know the village as a viewer. (Please note - I Could not find this new video on the main channel page. This can be amended on TH-cam studio> customisation > Layout > featured section and alter.) thanks 👍
Please note that the music is by Poyntzpass Silver Band. My fault - there is no brass band! 😐
Nice one Hugh
