From First Hand Accounts of a Visit to the old Ruddock Home in Ringclare in 1999
By Mrs. McNaughton
"The Ruddock Ancestral home" surrounded by
hedges and foiliage appears to be a well maintained long home of
single level. Lots of trees and shrubs. And an "Ancestral Home" in
Ringclare/Donaghmore
which is a white two level home a tree and a bird feeder in front with a
lovely grass lawn. Cement side walks etc.
And the Donaghmore National School - a single level 2 room building? -
And last the Donaghmore Presbyterian Church;
a rather small Church building - well cared for.
