Place & story
An organ and early glass
Saint Bride’s, the Kilbride parish church near Doagh, contains an original organ built by William Hill of London. The Diocese of Connor’s 2025 heritage account also identifies stained-glass windows surviving from the church’s original construction. These fittings preserve parts of the nineteenth-century place of worship alongside the building itself. [2]
