The Hamill mausoleum at St Joseph's RC church, Hannahstown Image Worship began in this area around land consecrated by a Fr Hugh O’Donnell in 1797. Land here was donated by a wealthy Catholic landowner called John Hamill - he originally donated one acre of land to be used as a cemetery; his wife Hannah later donated money for a small schoolhouse which was also used as the church (it is likely that the area became known as "Hannah's Town" as a result of this).
