Moneyreagh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moneyreagh (in Irish: Mónaidh Riabhach, ie grey bog or moor) is a small village in County Down, Northern Ireland, just off the main road from Belfast to Ballygowan. The Auld House at the top of the town has various bars and function rooms and is the hub of the village’s social life. Along with the Water Tower on Galloway Hill, adjacent to the village, significant landmarks include the Hillmount Rock which sits on Church Road.
The village’s Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church has a long history. The congregation dates back to the 18th century. The original meeting house was a barn like structure built in 1719. Beside the church stands the Richard Lyttle Memorial National School. This was used as a school from 1908 up until 1961.
