A meeting house was built on this site in 1807 after a separation
from the congregation at Knockbreckan in Knockbreda parish . It
was small with a thatched roof. After some rebuilding, it was described
in 1836 as a plain, oblong, whitewashed building with a slate roof
with dimensions of 72 by 30 feet. The clergyman from 1826 was Rev.
John Wright Graham (until his death in 1862) , who received £
