Mount St Joseph's Church, Ballycranbeg
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 13 Jul 2008
RC church in Ballycranbeg, near Kirkistown, on the Ards Peninsula. Sited on a prominent hill on the south-eastern edge of Ballycarnbeg and within sight of a 17th century mass rock, the foundation stone was laid on 17th April 1874 and the new church was dedicated to St Joseph on 8th October 1876 by Most Rev Dr Dorrian, Bishop of Down and Connor. Somewhat bizarrely, the church is omitted from the 1:50000 OS map.
