Desertlyn (St. John) Church of Ireland Churchyard

Desertlyn (St. John) Church of Ireland Church is located at the centre of the village Moneymore. It opened its doors for the first time during 1832, having taken 3 years to build at the cost of £6000. The building was improved in 1868 and all went well up until 1889 when it had a fire which destroyed the roof and most of the interiors of the building.

The church reopened during 1891 with an addition of a bell. The only other main change up until today is the reintroduction of an original stain glass window some 50 years later. There is one burial of the Great War here.
