  • Ulster-Scots Churches and Graveyards in North Down
    Ulster-Scots churches and Graveyards in North Down General History To some degree, every church in the Ards and North Down has an Ulster-Scots story to tell, because for the past 400 years the vast majority of the people who have made up their congregations have been Ulster- Scots. People often think that Ulster-Scots is just a Presbyterian story – in fact there is a Scottish chapter in the story of every denomination. Some of these stories are reflected in the North Down graveyards. A graveyard can be likened to an open air museum of tombstones on which the inscriptions on these memorials provide vital links with the past. Not only do they record dates of death and ages at death, they can also include information on family, relationships, occupations and contributions to society. Within North Down there are two graveyards in particular that give an insight into the Ulster Scots that once lived in the locality located at two pivotal churches in the Borough within Bangor and Holywood. The depth of history is evident. The Ulster-Scots beginnings in North Down The Presbyterian Church has of course been the biggest, and most influential, denomination throughout those four centuries, with Revival in 1625 and congregations being formed long before the official Presbytery of 1642. The famous emigrant ship Eagle Wing was led by four Ulster- Scots Presbyterian ministers (from Bangor, Newtownards, Ballywalter and Killinchy) when she sailed from Groomsport in 1636. Presbyterian Covenanters fleeing from persecution in Scotland in the 1660’s and 1670’s were regularly arrested at Donaghadee.

Local Authorities have a duty under the Environment Act 1995 and subsequent regulations to review and assess air quality in their areas on a periodic basis to identify all areas where the air quality objectives are being or are likely to be exceeded. A phased approach has been adopted for the review and assessment process so that the level of assessment undertaken is commensurate with the risk of an exceedance of an air quality objective. An updating and screening assessment (USA) is required to be prepared every three years by all local authorities in the UK. The last updating and screening assessment of air quality was undertaken in 2015 with two progress reports carried out in 2016 and 2017. This report is the 2018 (USA) for Ards and North Down Borough Council (ANDBC) and has been completed using the recommended template. The assessment is fully compliant with the applicable policy and technical guidance. This Report identified no exceedances of the Air Quality Strategy objectives for 2017 for any of the pollutants assessed with relevant exposure.

  • The Mclean Family of Holywood
    The McLean family of Holywood (photo courtesy of Nigel Henderson) The imposing McLean monument in the Priory Graveyard traces the family tree of the McLean family in Holywood from 1821 to 1985. Although barely remembered today, all made a significant contribution to society in Northern Ireland – particularly in the legal and military spheres. The monument was erected after the death of James McLean in 1892. It was a fitting tribute to a man who left assets of £20,986 - about £2.5million in current value. The monument is a curious mixture of architectural styles. It is mainly Romanesque in style with elaborate rounded arches and columns but with the addition of Celtic symbols and script. The inscription on the headstone reveals that James was born 7 December 1821 in Stranraer, New Brunswick. It seems likely that his father, Captain John McLean, brought the family back to Belfast on one of his trans-Atlantic trips. This advertisement from the Belfast Commercial Chronicle of 19 May 1827 may be for one of his voyages. Guest author: Ruth Allister McLean Family of Holywood 1 | P a g e James’ younger brother, John, also became a sea captain. As confirmed by the inscription on the headstone, James was married to Elizabeth Bryson. The Belfast Commercial Chronicle of 30 April 1843 carried the announcement of the marriage. Dr Henry Cooke was the famous minster of May Street Presbyterian Church in Belfast. At this time James was already working as a clerk in the office of John Suffern. Three years later he was taken on as a solicitor’s apprentice in the same firm at a salary of £150 per annum, officially admitted as a solicitor in 1851.

  • Holywood Town Walk and Cultural Trail
    Holywood Town Walk and Cultural Trail www.northdowntourism.com The first recorded reference to Holywood was made in the AD634 by the Venerable Bede in the Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation with the establishment of a monastic settlement on the site of the Old Priory Church. In the mid 1865, when the railway was extended along the North coastline, Holywood became the residence of choice for Belfast’s industrial elite who built mansions in the hills behind the town. Today the town is well known for its speciality shopping and fine cuisine. Look out for the ten green plaques, which help identify part of Holywood as a conservation area. See also the street trees sponsored by the community.
