Glenarm - Glens Of Antrim
Lying about 12 miles north of Larne it is the most southerly of the Nine Glens of Antrim. The village of Glenarm has a population of about 500 people with perhaps 600-700 in the upper glen. There was an important fort here in Norman times providing an outlet to the sea for the extensive Norman settlement in mid-Antrim. The harbour has recently been renovated and a new marina created with moorings for some 75 boats.
Glenarm Castle, dating from 1750 with early 19th century alterations lies near the village and the Antrim Estate extends up the Glen for about four miles on both sides of the river. The Church of Ireland stands on the site of a Third Order Franciscan Friary founded about AD 1500 with part of the walls still visible. The great Shane O'Neill, killed at Cushendun in 1567 is reputed to be buried here, minus his head which was displayed on a spike at Dublin Castle.

St Patrick's Church & Ancient Friary Glenarm
St Patrick's Church Glenarm, Graveyard and Ancient Friary.
This ancient church is well worth having a look round if you enjoy investigating local religious history.
St Patrick's Church of Ireland
' On 13 December 1759 an official order was issued in Dublin granting permission to build a new Church of Ireland church in Glenarm at the ‘vaults of the old abb[e]y being church ground and contiguous to the town of Glenarm.’ However, it was to be a few more years before building work began. In 1768 a parliamentary report of that year noted ‘a very good new church’ in Glenarm.
The new church is the earliest known example of Strawberry Hill ‘Gothick’ in an ecclesiastical building in Ireland. The church originally had a tower and spire, nave, and an unusual three sided chancel apse. In 1823 a gallery, south transept and vestry were added. In the 1870s the church was renovated under the direction of Lady Antrim and in 1871, she presented it with an organ. In 1878 the porch was added, the gallery removed and a Gothic arch was erected opening the tower into the nave. In 1892 the chancel was extended and a new vestry built.
The church features a fine collection of stained glass windows, including an intriguing single-light window in the south transept.
The friary at Glenarm
In the early fifteenth century, Franciscan Third Order Regular communities began to be established in Ireland. In 1445 the archdeacon of Connor was sent a mandate by Pope Eugenius VI, authorising him to establish a Franciscan Third Order Regular friary in his diocese.
A 1580 map of the County Antrim coastline shows the friary at ‘Glanarme’ on the other side of the river from the castle. It was probably closed by the beginning of the seventeenth century, but its site continued to be the favoured burial place of the local population, including settlers from Scotland.
St Patrick's Graveyard/Churchyard
The friary has been used as a place of burial for centuries, possibly back to its foundation. It was certainly in use in the seventeenth century for the earliest inscription dates from 1641, and there are at least two other memorials bearing dates prior to 1700. Though an act of parliament of 1698 banned burials within the confines of a dissolved monastery, this ruling was ignored by both Protestants and Catholics, and the site of the friary continued as the most important place of interment in Glenarm.
