The book Richhill - A Portrait of an Ulster Village tells the story of our home from earliest times and describes the impact of major events in Irish history. The experiences of the Plantation, Famine, Partition and the Great War are seen through the eyes of those who lived through them. Aristocrats and cottiers, soldiers and Orangemen jostle through the pages of this lively account.

“The grand sweep of history comes alive in Richhill, A Portrait of an Ulster Village”.
Paul Clements, The Irish Times

“This publication would be at the forefront of any campaign to claim that local history in Ulster is alive and well”.
Trevor Parkhill, Familia,
The Journal of the Ulster Historical Foundation


Published by the Richhill Buildings Preservation Trust with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
