About Knockbreda (Newtownbreda)

Knockbreda (Newtownbreda) is a Church of Ireland church in Knockbreda, County Down. It is in the Diocese of Down & Dromore.

History

The present building was opened in 1737, replacing two earlier churches at Knock and Breda. It was built at the expense of Lady Middleton, on a site provided by her son Arthur Hill.

For most of its history the parish was rural. During the twentieth century it became a suburban parish as the city of Belfast expanded around it.
