LOUGHGALL, or
LEVALLEY-EGLISH, a post-town and parish, partly in the barony of ARMAGH,
but chiefly in that of ONEILLAND WEST, county of ARMAGH, and province of
ULSTER, 4 miles (N. E.) from Armagh, and 70 (N.) from Dublin, on the
great north road from Derry through Dungannon to Armagh; containing 5934
inhabitants, of which number, 325 are in the town. The parish, which is
bounded on the north by the river Blackwater, comprises, according to
the Ordnance survey (including the district parish of Charlemont),
10,924 1/2 statute acres, of which 2449 3/4 are in the barony of Armagh,
and the remainder in O'Neilland West; 59 1/2 acres are water, and of the
land about two-thirds are exceedingly rich and fertile, and the
remainder of inferior quality. The system of agriculture is highly
improved under the auspices of the resident gentry, and excellent crops
are raised: there is some valuable bog, but no waste land. Limestone
abounds and is extensively quarried for agricultural purposes and for
repairing the roads. The weaving of linen cloth is still carried on here
to a considerable extent, affording employment to more than 600 persons
who are engaged by the manufacturers and bleachers of Banbridge. The
principal seats are Drumilly, the residence of Mrs. Cope, an ancient
mansion with two lofty square towers projecting from the front, and
overlooking the village; Hockley Lodge, of the Hon. H. Caulfield;
Ardress, of G. Ensor, Esq.; Green Hall, of Mrs. Atkinson; Summer Island,
of Col. Verner; Eden Cottage, of W. P. Newton, Esq.; Cloven Eden, of W.
B. Picknoll, Esq.; Loughgall House, of J. Hardy, Esq.; and the
glebe-house, of the Rev. Silver Oliver. The fine mansion and demesne of
Castle Dillon, the seat of Sir Thos. Molyneux, which is described
particularly in the account of Richhill, are partly in this parish and
partly in that of Armagh. The village, though small, is beautifully
situated in a fertile valley in the midst of a richly cultivated and
picturesque country; and consists of 60 houses, of which the greater
number are large, well-built, and of handsome appearance. There is a
large and handsome market-house, but the market, and also four fairs
which were formerly held, have been discontinued. A constabulary police
force is stationed here; and a manorial court is held monthly before the
seneschal for the recovery of debts not exceeding 40s. |
