1856 – Church of the Ascension, Drumcree, Co. Armagh

Quite a large parish church with side aisles and clerestory windows. For several years in the 1990s, the church drew international attention as the scene of the Drumcree standoffs. Each year, the Protestant Orange Order marches to-and-from a service at the church on the Sunday before 12th July. Residents of the nearby Catholic district prevented the march from continuing through their neighbourhood. Thousands of Orangemen and loyalists gathered at Drumcree and violently tried to force their way through in a blatant display of sectarianism, but were held back by the security forces.
