What is recorded here

Westropp (1904-5, 454) recorded the following details about Ballylanders Church; 'This is named from the ancient family de London, de Londiniis, and de Loundres. Ballylondery and Ballylondry, 1657 (D.S. (A), 54 ; and Petty, 74). Fabric - The gables were broken to level of walls before 1840, but the north walls were intact. It is 50 feet [15.25m] by 20½ feet [6.25m]. The east window and south door had pointed heads cut out of single blocks; the south windows and north door were defaced. Near it lay Lady's Well [LI049-179003-] (O.S.L., 8, p. 86) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 26 June 2019
The church at Ballylanders was likely built by or in association with the de Londiniis family, an ancient Norman family in Ireland, and dates to the medieval period. Its ruins and dedication reflect the early Christian and Norman influence in the region, though specific architectural style or religious dedication is not clearly recorded.
