MAGHERAFELT
back to
top
Magherafelt, is a market town in County Derry, thirty
five miles W.N.W. from Belfast, situated on the road from Coleraine to
Dungannon. It is a well built town, consisting of a spacious square,
from which four streets radiate at the angles, and from these diverge
smaller streets in various directions. In the centre of the square
stands the market house, the upper part contains apartments for transacting
public business, and a bail room. At the lower end of the town is the
court-house, a convenient edifice, with a small bridewell attached.
The town is the property of the Salters' Company of London. The linen
manufacture employs a large proportion of the inhabitants. Brewing,
tanning and the general grain business, are branches extensively carried on,
and in the retail drapery and a few other trades there are several well
stored shops. The Belfast Banking Company and the Northern Banking
Company have each a branch in the town. General Sessions of the peace
are held in the court-house in January, April, July and October, as are
detty (petty) sessions on the last Wednesday of each month. The Parish
church is a beautiful edifice, built in 1857, at a cost of £7,000, £4,000
of which was subscribed by the Salters' Company of London. It is
considered one of the handsomest churches in this part of the country.
The Presbyterian church has been erected at a cost of £3,000, £1,200 was
subscribed by the Salters' Company of London. It is situated at the
top of Meeting Street, where a beautiful view is commanded of the town and
surrounding country. A very neat and comfortable manse has been
erected for the minister, also a male and female school house. The
ground for erecting these buildings upon was given gratuitously by the
Salters' Company. The Wesleyan Methodists have a chapel in the town,
and a short distance from it the Roman Catholics have a place of worship.
The charities comprise a dispensary and a union workhouse, and several
schools for gratuitous education of both sexes, among these is Rainey's
endowed school and apprenticeship fund. The principal and general
market is held on Thursday, and that for oats on Monday, and wheat on
Wednesday. The butter and linen market is held in Market Square, the
pork, oats and wheat market in Charity Street, and potato market in Market
Square, the flax market in Broad Street. On the second Thursday in
every month there is a large linen market, and extensive cattle markets of
fairs are also held monthly. The fairs are held on the last Thursday
of every month. The Parish of Magherafelt, in 1851, contained 6,592
inhabitants, and the town 1,390 of that number.

its county, forty three miles S.W. by W. from Belfast. The town
consists of one principal square, in the centre, called the Diamond, of
another spacious area (in which is the market house), and of the three
streets diverging from the principal square in a triangular direction.

prisoners. The county infirmary occupies also an elevated situation at
the North East corner of the Shamble Square. There is a fever hospital
about a quarter of a mile from the town. At the North entrance is a
cavalry barrack, and contiguous to it is the union workhouse. The
government of the town is now vested in municipal commissioners. There
is a linen market here, but the principal trade is the exchange of general
merchandise for the agricultural produce of the surrounding country.

savings; bank. The Parish church, standing in the centre of the town,
is a handsome structure, in the later English style of architecture, with a

MONEYMORE
back
to top
Moneymore, is a market town in County Derry, 32 Irish
miles W.N.W. from Belfast. The town and a large tract of the adjacent
country are the property of the Drapers' Company, London, who have greatly
improved the town and district. Petty sessions are held on the first
Tuesday in each month. The whole estate belonging to the Company
comprises sixty four townlands. The Parish church of Desertlyn, in the
town, is a very elegant structure, in the Norman style, erected in 1832, at
an expense of £6,000, wholly defrayed by the Drapers' Company. The
Drapers' Company also built at their expense the Rev. Dr. Barnett's
Presbyterian House, at a cost of £4,000, and subscribed liberally to the
building of the Rev. Robert Sinclair's Presbyterian church. Since the
estate came into their possession, they have expended £50,000 in the
improvement of the town of Moneymore alone, exclusive of about £100,000
upon other portions of the property. The weekly market is held on
Friday, and there is a general market or fair on the 21st of each
month. Population in 1851, 781.

MOY AND CHARLEMONT
back
to top
Moy, is a small market town in County Tyrone, forty
nine miles S.W. from Belfast, situated on the River Blackwater, on the road
from Armagh to Dungannon. It was designed, in the year 1764, by the
late Earl of Charlemont, the proprietor, after the plan of Marengo, in
Italy. Two quays on the river were erected by the Charlemont family,
with extensive stores, and the Blackwater being navigable from Lough Neagh
for lighters of sixty tons burthen, an immediate communication is formed
with Belfast and Newry by the Lagan and Newry Canals, and with Lough Erne by
the Ulster Canal. A handsome market place, with court house and news
room, was erected by the Earl of Charlemont in 1828. Petty sessions
are held every Monday fortnight. A constabulary barrack adjoins the
market place. In the immediate neighbourhood of the town and of
Charlemont are several extensive linen manufactories. The church is in
the early English style, with a handsome square tower. There are
places of worship for Presbyterians, Independents and Wesleyan and Primitive
Methodists. The Roman Catholic chapel has a Doric front. On an
adjacent hill is Roxborough House, the beautiful residence of Lord
Charlemont, originally commenced in 1774, by his uncle, the Hon. Francis
Caulfield. The fine plantations, tastefully laid out grounds, and
elegant entrance, greatly enhance the general appearance of the town, while
a handsome tower to the East is a picturesque feature in its beauty.
On the first Friday of every month is held one of the best attended horse
fairs in the North of Ireland. Population in 1851, 833.
Charlemont, a market and garrison town in County
Armagh, divided from Moy by the Blackwater River, over which is a neat stone
bridge of five arches, built about 1706, and rebuilt in 1858 by the two
counties, Tyrone and Armagh, and is a perfect model in style and
architecture, and adds considerably to the two towns it unites together, as
well as to the magnificent entrance of the Earl of Charlemont, which it
immediately adjoins. The castle (built in 1602) is now the ordnance
depot for the North of Ireland. The town participates with Moy in the
linen manufacture. A new church was erected in 1833, on ground given
by Lord Charlemont, it is a handsome structure, resembling in front one of
the grand altars of York Minster. The celebrated and pious John Wesley
frequently preached in Charlemont, and occasionally in the fort.
Post-Office, Charlemont Square, Moy -
