Second Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church

The congregation was established in 1763 at Rashee, close to the present building, moving to the current site in 1768.

During the troublesome times prior to the 1798 Rebellion led by the United Irishmen, the congregation's minister, the Reverend William Holmes, an opponent of the rebel cause, formed and drilled The Ballyeaston Yeomanry.

William Holmes was also responsible for informing state authorities of the location of rebel forces hiding at Glenwherry in June 1798, but they were saved from capture by being warned by another local man, John Magil.

Despite Holmes's opposition to the United Irishmen, many Presbyterians and their neighbours supported the rebel cause.

Built originally in the 'barn' style of Presbyterian Churches, a plain style not unlike that of a large barn, the entrance porch and tower were added in 1901 during a major refurbishment in which the pulpit was moved to the east wall and a gallery added.
