Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (Including Some Records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath)
Louth County Archives Service Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (including some records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath) Collection Reference Code: PP00075/ Title: Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (including some records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath) Dates: (1655-), 1831 – 1839, 1855 – 1949, 1956 - 1959, c.1991 Level of Description: Fonds Extent: 1 archival box containing 165 items Name of Creator(s): Dundalk, Carlingford, Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath Presbyterian Churches Admin/Biographical History: Dundalk is reputed to be the second place in Ireland in which a Presbyterian Church was formally constituted. In 1655 Henry Cromwell, commander of the army, brought with him to Ireland several Independent ministers who settled in the principal towns. One of these was a Joseph Bowesfield, the first non-Episcopal minister associated with Dundalk. It is thought that the first congregation was probably Independent at first before adopting the Presbyterian form. About 1700, the Rev John Wilson took charge of the joint congregations of Dundalk and Carlingford and in 1707 the Presbyterians in Dundalk sought and achieved separate congregational status. The founders of Presbyterianism in the Dundalk district were Malcolm and Archibald MacNeill, officers in the Williamite army. Malcolm MacNeill pressed the claims of Dundalk upon the General Synod. He built a church at Ballymascanlon, while a meeting house was built in Linenhall Street, Dundalk by Archibald MacNeill in about 1700 and continued in use until 1839 when it was replaced by the church in Jocelyn Street. In 1863 a school was added near the location of this church and this was followed in 1865 by the construction of a teacher’s residence. -

Geological history The imposing hills of the Cooley Peninsula, in the north-east of the county rise steeply above Dundalk Bay and overlook a more subdued landscape stretching across the rest of Co. Louth. The oldest rocks form a low range of hills just a few kilometres to the north-west of Drogheda, but they are poorly exposed. These Ordovician rocks, around 465 to 450 million years old, are dominated by volcanic lavas and ash falls erupted from volcanic islands and deposited on the ocean floor. Much of the low ground in the north of the county, between Dundalk and Ardee, is underlain by Silurian rocks, around 440 to 425 million years old. These were deposited on a deep ocean floor, where layers of slowly deposited dark mud were periodically interrupted by influxes of muddy sand avalanching down into the ocean basin from shallower water. Later, as the continental plates either side of this ocean moved together, these interbedded layers Louth: COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND 3 The deeply weathered Carboniferous limestone in Tullyallen Quarry contains pockets of clay which are believed to be perhaps thirty million years old. -
