Orange Arch, Loughgall
The seasonal Orange Arch in Loughgall village. As a matter of interest, the Orange Order itself was founded at the Diamond - two miles from here - by local man Dan Winter in 1795. The village therefore is often regarded as the home of the Order.

Worker's houses, Loughgall
They are located off Main Street. Major employers were the Cope families
In 1610, the Plantation of Ulster (under James I of England) came into effect. The manors of Loughgall and Carrobrack were granted to Lord Saye and Sele. In 1611 he sold these lands to Sir Anthony Cope of which 3,000 acres were represented by the Manor of Loughgall.
The Copes were an old established English family from Hanwell, Oxfordshire.
The two Cope families of the Manor House and Drumilly respectively, did not take a very active part in politics, but as residential landlords pursued a policy of development of agriculture both on their own estates and greatly encouraged the improvement and fertility of the farms of their tenants. Apple growing over the past two centuries has become a major factor in the economic development of Co. Armagh, with Loughgall the heart of this important industry.
