The old parish church of Seapatrick dates from 1698. It is said that when St Patrick stopped to water his horse on the Bann he established a church here. Little is known about the subsequent history although it seems that there was a church in the early 14th century and a later one was destroyed during the war in 1641. It is thought that King William III ordered that a church be built on this site.
