About my hometown |
Dromore is a peaceful County Down town, nestling in the hills of the upper regions of the Lagan valley. It takes its name from the Gaelic 'Druim Mor' meaning 'great ridge', or 'back of a hill'. The town and the surrounding district has many sites worthy of visit by those with an interest in history both ancient and modern. Its antiquity has led to Dromore being designated a conservation area. The beautiful, historic, Cathedral Church of Christ the Redeemer, stands near the site, where in 500AD, St. Colman founded a church which later became an Abbey. As well as the Cathedral, the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church, St. Colman's Roman Catholic Church, First Dromore and Banbridge Road Presbyterian Churches and the Methodist Church, all have a little bit of history, and all are excellent examples of Church Architecture of their various periods.
