Tullysaran Area Heritage Group

What is the Tullysaran Area Heritage Group?

The group was formed in 2003 to research, record and preserve the rich heritage of the locality, some of which has an importance recognised at European and even world level. The area covered by TAHG comprises a total of 61 townlands, a combination of the civil parishes of Eglish and a small part of Grange, and the rural part of the Catholic parish of Armagh referred to as Tullysaran. The townlands are also in the ancient baronies of Tiranny and Armagh, in the more modern District Electoral Divisions of Glenaul, Ballymartrim, Grange and, in even more recent times, in the Local Government wards of Killylea and Milford.

Where is Tullysaran?
Tullysaran is a small townland of 100 acres in Co. Armagh about 4 miles north west of Armagh city. Because the local National (later, Primary) School and Catholic church were situated in this townland, its name came to represent a much wider area.
