Denomination: Roman Catholic
Armagh Parish has four churches; St Patrick’s Cathedral, St Malachy’s, St Colmcille’s, Knockaconey and Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception, Tullysaran.
The Tullysaran District of Armagh Parish extends from Lisadian and Tullygarron in the East to Ballymacully and Corr-Aughatarra in the West; from Aughrafin in the South to Tullymore Otra in the North. This territory has been part of the Parish of Armagh for a few hundred years, although it was a separate parish in the Middle Ages known by a variety of names such as Clanawle, Eglish, or Glenaul. This district consists of 52 townlands. These were sub-divisions of two ancient precincts, Clenaul and Tuaghy, which had been largely Primatial lands. Certain clans had immemorial rights as tenants. In the rentals of 400 years ago some septs are spoken of as having lived on their lands from the very earliest times. Wars came, confiscation and famine, but it is of interest that the same families can still be found in Toaghy and Glenaul today.
