SEAGOE RECTORY, Beagoe Rectory is a building of historic interest. The present house was erected in the year 1740, but there still exist behind the present building some portions of an older house which is described as “ ancient ” in the year 1700. The present building was known as “ Seagoe House” up to the year 1879. It was always the residence of the Vicars of Seagoe, but not of the Rectors who resided in the Parish of Donaghcloney. The Becfory is finely situated on rising ground, andjis only a few minutes walk from the Parish Church. The Great Northern Railway runs through the Glebe lands. The present house and its predecessors have been tha residence of the clergy of Seagoe for at least eight hundred years. Copies of the Magazine oan be had from Mr. James Vance, 13 Bridge St. Edendcrry, Per1«d*wn.
