The Old Parish Church (Church Of Ireland) was consecrated in 1721, and a tower and gallery added in 1821. It was last used for a service in 1855 when it was replaced by St Patrick’s Church (Church History Trail youtube). Since then, the Old Parish Church has lain derelict.
The wall-painting shown here is by Leanne McClelland (ig) in 2022 (Ballymena BID) in Church Street Arcade, off Church Street, Ballymena.
