Did you know?

  • Armagh hosted the first-ever All-Ireland Road Bowls Championship in 1963. Armagh’s Danny McPartland was the winner, beating Derry Kenny of Cork on the final shot by just 11 yards.

  • In July 1926 William McCrea, a farmer from Loughgall, claimed to have reached the grand old age of 107.

  • In 1894 there was concern about a marked increase in the prevalence of lunacy in Armagh. It was suggested that one of the causes was drinking poor-quality tea.

Here you will find out about Armagh’s history, its proud sporting heritage, its castles and great houses, and its famous men and women. You will also glimpse a darker side to Armagh’s past through tales of poverty, famine and tragedy. From quaint villages to bustling towns, this book takes you on a journey through the Orchard County and its vibrant past.

A reliable reference book and a quirky guide, this can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage and the secrets of this ancient county.
