Muff (Eglinton) –
A village in the parish of Faughanvale, 6 miles N.E. by E. from Londonderry on the old road to Coleraine containing 192 inhabitants. This place owes its origin to the Grocers Company of London, to whom, on the settlement of Ulster Jas. I., granted the adjacent lands, on which the company erected a large bawn and a strong castle, defended by a garrison of their own tenantry. The castle was besieged in 1641 by the insurgents under Col. MCDONNELL and gallantly defended by the garrison during the winter of that year, till relieved in the following summer by the troops from Derry, but it afterwards fell in the hands of the parliamentarians by whom it was dismantled. The company, in 1626, erected a church here which has ever since been the parish church of Faughanvale and on the expiration of the leases, which they had granted for long terms, resumed the management of their estate in 1819, since which period very considerable improvements have been made. The company’s manor comprehends 38 townlands extending into the parishes of Lower Cumber and Clondermot and comprising 16,500 statute acres. The village has been entirely rebuilt; the houses are large and of handsome appearance; the streets spacious and regularly laid out, and the roads leading to it, well constructed and kept in good repair. In conjunction with the resident gentry of the neighbourhood, the company established an agricultural school at Templemoyle, with which, a classical school at Fallowlee is connected, and for its use allotted 130 acres for experiments in practical farming in consideration of which they send three free pupils into the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairs are held on the first Thursday in Feb., May, Aug., and Nov. for cattle, sheep, pigs and various articles of merchandise. A penny post has been established to Londonderry, a constabulary police force is stationed here and petty sessions are held on the first Tuesday in every month. A manorial court is held monthly before the seneschal, for the recovery of debts under 40s; the court and market-house is a spacious and handsome building in the centre of the village. The old church built, by the company, having fallen into decay, a new church in the early English style was erected in 1821, towards which a loan of \u00a31000 was granted by the late board of First Fruits; the glebe house (erected by the Company), a dispensary, and an almshouse for 20 poor widows, are also in the village. There are some remains of the old parish church, but not a vestige of the bawn, or castle, except the vaults of the latter, can be traced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faughanvale Presbyterian Church<\/strong>
(about a kilometre east of Eglinton village.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Faughvale Presbyterian Church – Eglington
This was originally called the congregation of Muff. It formed part of Glendermot congregation in 1696. In 1730 the people presented a memorial praying to be speedily planted with a minister. Their first minister is said to have been Mr. James SMYTH, who was ordained by the Presbytery of Strabane in 1732. He died here on the 13th Feb. 1770. He was succeeded by Mr. DUNN, who was ordained here by the Presbytery of Derry, on the 18th June 1771. He was deposed by the same Presbytery on the 18th May 1784. The next minister was Mr. Henry ELDER, who was ordained here on the 4th Feb. 1786. He died in this charge on the 27th Jul. 1817; and was succeeded by Mr. Marshall MOORE, who was ordained here in the month of November 1819. Mr. MOORE died on the 14th August 1848; and on the 26th March 1850, Mr. Lowry E. BERKLEY was ordained to the pastoral charge. On the 25th Aug. 1858, Mr. Berkeley resigned this charge on his removal to Lurgan and on the 17th Feb. 1859, Mr. Francis PETTICREW (now D. Lit.) was ordained to the pastorate.

30 June 1900 – The inhabitants of Ballykelly, Carrickhue, and Faughanvale will find something to interest them in the following sketch, which is entitled, Faughanvale, a parish in the barony of Tirkeran, county of Londonderry, and province of Ulster, 8 miles (S.E.) from Londonderry on the mail coach road to Coleraine, containing 6,218 inhabitants. This parish, which is bounded on the north by Lough Foyle, and comprises, according to the ordnance survey, 18,582\u00bc statute acres, the greater portion of which was granted in 1609 by James, (King James 1st<\/sup>) to the Grocer’s Company of London, who in 1619, erected a strong and handsome castle, surrounded by a bawn, in which they placed a powerful garrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the war of 1641 the castle sustained a siege for several months, and resolutely held out against the parliament armies till the garrison was relieved. It was again besieged and finally taken and dismantled by the parliament. The ruins were standing till 1823, when they were removed and the present glebe house erected on the site. Of the remainder of the parish part is held in perpetuity, equally, by Lecky ALEXANDER Esq. and the heirs of the late Sir Wm. PONSONBY, who pay a chief rent of \u00a3200 per annum to the Goldsmith’s Company. Part belongs to Major SCOTT; part to the See of Derry and a few of the native townlands in the Grocers proportion, to the Marquess of Londonderry. The land is generally fertile especially around the villages of Faughanvale and Muff and the system of agriculture has been much improved under the auspices of the North-West Agricultural Society and the gentry resident in the district. Many thousand acres of bog and waste land have been reclaimed and brought into profitable cultivation. The lands are well-drained and fenced and there are extensive and flourishing plantations, exclusively of the ancient oak woods of Walworth, which are principally in this parish. At Creggan and Tullynee are quarries of excellent slate, but they are only partially worked and principally for flags and tombstones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principal seats are; Willsborough, that of Major SCOTT; the Foyle Park, of Lecky ALEXANDER Esq.; Campsey, of J. QUINN Esq.; Creggan, of T. MAJOR Esq.; Coolafeeney, of T. LECKY Esq.; Muff House, of the Rev. J. CHRISTIE; and Tullybrisland, of T. MAJOR Esq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A manorial court, in which debts, not exceeding 40s. are recoverable, is held at Muff for that part of the parish which belongs to the Grocer’s Company. The living is a rectory and perpetual curacy in the diocese of Derry, the rectory forming part of the Union of Templemore and of the corps of the deanery of Derry and the curacy in the patronage of the dean. The tithes amount to \u00a3700, payable to the dean and the glebe comprises 1,035 statute acres. The curacy was instituted in 1823. The stipend is \u00a396 6s 2d, of which \u00a369 4s 7\u00bdd is paid by the dean and \u00a323 1s 6\u00bdd from Primate BOULTER’S fund. The glebe house, with a glebe of 10 acres, was given to the curate by the Grocer’s Company. The church, a spacious and handsome edifice, with a square tower crowned with pinnacles, was built in 1821 by a loan of \u00a31,000 from the late Board of First Fruits, near the ruins of a former church built by the Grocer’s Company in 1626, in the village of Muff and about 3 miles distant from the ruins of the ancient parish church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The R.C. parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church; the chapel is at Creggan. At Tullinee there is a place of worship for Presbyterians in connection with the Synod of Ulster, of the second class. About 370 children are taught in 6 public schools, of which the parochial school at Muff is supported by a grant of \u00a330 per annum from the trustees of Erasmus Smith’s charity and annual donations from the Grocer’s Company and the rector. The schoolhouse, adjoining the church, a large and handsome edifice, was erected in 1814. A school at Graceteel is under the Fishmonger’s Company, who pay the whole charges for children of cottiers, and one-half for those of farmers, on their estate. Two are aided by the Marquis of Londonderry and Major SCOTT and an agricultural is supported by shareholders and subscribers, and by the labour of the scholars on the farm. There are also 3 private schools, in which are about 150 children and 3 Sunday schools. A valuable donation of sacramental plate and furniture for the altar and pulpit was bequeathed to the church in 1665, by Bishop WILD, who also left \u00a35 for the poor.
