There has been a church on the site since Pre-Reformation days. During the 1641 Catholic Revolt the Protestant people of the area sought refuge in the church and were secretly fed by Fr McGlaime, a local Catholic priest until in the following year they were rescued by Lord Antrim's forces. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/church-harvest-ballintoy-paul-morgan.html
