IRELAND'S OLDEST HOUSE? WHITE HOUSE WHITEABBEY
I was up at White House Lagoon off the M5 at Whiteabbey to do a wee bird watching video but I immediately became totally distracted when I came across what it reputed to be the oldest building/house in Ireland! I ama totally gobsmacked!I wasn't expecting this!
The White House has nestled on the Northern Shore of Belfast Lough for over 400 years and has now been restored into a beautiful visitor centre and multi-purpose space.
The White House tells both the story of the Williamite and Jacobite Wars from a European perspective and the story of this historic building’s past right up to the present day. The building itself dates back to the 1500s but the most famous story associated with it is in 1690 when William of Orange landed at Carrickfergus on the 14th June. William’s army landed at the ancient quay near the White House and William rode from Carrickfergus where he met with General Schomberg and other people of note.After falling into disrepair in the 1800s the building was later used as a gospel hall until 1997. At this point it was purchased on behalf of Abbey Historical Society by Ulster Garden Villages and in 2000, the White House Preservation Trust was formed to preserve and restore the building. The Trust worked tirelessly to attract funding and was successful in obtaining grant-aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Biffa Award, Northern Ireland Environment Agency and Ulster Garden Villages. As a result The White House has been transformed into a beautiful and informative visitor centre.
200 years before Australia was even discovered, and around the same time pioneers were discovering America, it is interesting to note how armies were already landing at The White House in preparation for a historical battle.
The White House is the oldest building in Newtownabbey; it also predates McHugh's, the oldest building in Belfast, by about 300 years. It is exceptionally important in the history of European civilisation as it was a landing point for the ships of King William's army in 1690. Also notable about the building is the story of Colonel Blood, a devious law breaker who once attempted to steal the crown jewels. Had he been successful, which he was not, the crown jewels certainly could have been discovered in this hiding place of his across the water.
It was first built in 1569 and during the intervening years has heard many a different story told through its walls. First mentioned on a map in 1569 of Cragfergus Baie (now Belfast Lough) the building was at a stage an impressive multi-roomed, turreted small castle. Now however the place stands in semi-ruin. That was at least until the Abbey Historical Society formed The White House Preservation Trust which is now acting as a guardian over the building, hoping to restore it to former glory. Currently the building is undergoing restoration work hoping to transform what was at a stage simply a pile of sad old pile of crumbling bricks into a new community heritage resource centre.
Between March 2006 and September 2007 the White House has been awarded several grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund to transform these ruins. It has also gained local status from its featuring on different television programmes including Village Restoration on BBC2, in which it was placed second in the Northern Ireland heat, and also on the BBC Road Show.
Local councillor, and chairman of the Trust, Billy Webb has been involved with the project since its conception in 1996. He stated his desire was to ensure this building is not lost to future generations. He went on to state he hopes he can inform people the building is why the area is called Whitehouse, not this is where the White House used to be. In a desire to reunite and link historical events with real places the new centre will provide a place where history is retold through a different generation. There is also a hope that that the centre may act as a means of conflict resolution. The army landed here; hopefully all the repercussions of their actions would mean all the trouble could end here too.

Exploring Doagh Old Cemetery Co Antrim
I'm passing through the village of Doagh near Ballyclare in search of the famous standing stone holestone. I couldn't resist doing a quick exploration of the old graveyard at the entrance to the village.
'Doagh graveyard is located on the south side of the village. Now in the care of Newtownabbey Borough Council, it was once the site of a medieval church known as the Church of St Mary of Doagh (Ecclesia Ste. Marie de Douach). By the early 1600s this church was in ruins. Only a portion of the west gable, standing to around 7 feet in height, still survives.
Within the graveyard is a low-walled enclosure topped by metal railings marking the resting place of members of the Shaw family. The first name on the large gravestone within the enclosure is that of Edward Shaw who died in 1761 aged 86. His son William predeceased him, dying in 1759 aged 38. William’s son, James Blair Shaw, a linen draper in Doagh, died in 1818 aged 70. In his will of 1816, James Blair Shaw, probably the leading full time resident in the village at that time.'
