Background
History
The area is known as the site of the religious 'Six Mile Water Revival' of 1625. The revival began with the preaching of James Glendinning at Oldstone, and his successor Josias Welsh (grandson of John Knox). Other preachers such as Robert Blair, James Hamilton and John Ridge were also involved. The Christian revival soon spread through counties Antrim and Down and lasted for almost ten years.
