Crumlin

A town near Lough Neagh, three miles from Belfast International Airport, recorded as early as 1306. On 13 September 1902 the Crumlin meteorite landed on Andrew Walker's farm with a boom heard ten miles away; locals compared it to a train leaving the track or a swarm of bees. It went to the Natural History Museum in London and came back on loan in 2023.

The 1306 taxation lists 'The Church of Camelyn', named, Bishop Reeves said, from a winding stream. Services were held there until 1661, and the church was destroyed by the army of James II in 1689, after which the locals worshipped at Glenavy. In 1808 the village had 430 people, a school and a post office, living mainly by linen weaving and labouring, and the linen mill was built in 1809. A clock tower of 1897 honours a member of the Pakenham family, the landlords. The meteorite fell in 1902. In 1972 a bomb went off early near the town, killing two IRA members. In recent years an Irish-speaking community has grown up, with an Irish-medium nursery and primary school.
