drumsna catholic church

Drumsna's Catholic Church (1845) is situated in the village. A memorial just beyond the church is dedicated to Robert Strawbridge who was born in Drumsna in 1732. He founded the Methodist Church in the USA and died in Baltimore, Maryland in 1781. A small cemetery close by is the burial place of Surgeon Thomas Parke, who accompanied Henry Morton Stanley on his celebrated expedition to the African Congo.

Anthony Trollope, the English novelist lived here for a time when he worked with the postal service. He drew on the nearby ruined Headford House for his first novel, "The Macdermotts of Ballycloran". The next turn left runs to the little harbour where there is an amenity area provided.
