The ancient parish church of Carnteel was burnt down during the 1641 rebellion. It was rebuilt at Rouskey, near Ballygawley, but when Acheson Moore was building Aughnacloy, he decided that it would be fitting to have the parish church in a central position. Thus we read in the vestry minutes, “Every townland in his parish is to send their horses and cars to carry away the flags (stones) of this present church (Rooskey) at Aughnacloy on Monday 10th May next.” This was the year of 1736 and the church became known as St. Acheson Moore’s daughter, Madame Malone, added the spire in 1796. James has had a distinguished history over the past 250 years, particularly as the rector of the parish was formerly the Archdeacon of Armagh. The church is an imposing landmark in the Aughnacloy district. Its architecture, stained glass windows and organ are worthy of note by the visitor.
