Description: Knockbreda Parish Church, Belfast. Funded solely by the Dowager Viscountess Middleton and designed by the leading architect in Ireland of the time, Richard Castles (or Cassels), the church was consecrated in August 1737. The apsidal chancel was added by Thomas Drew in 1883 and the vestry by R.I. Caldwell CE in 1910. The parish graveyard contains many fine monuments, including late 18th Century mausoleums - see 799564, 799582 and 799612. Many other wealthy or prominent Belfast citizens from the 18th and 19th centuries are also buried here. Alongside the old parish graveyard is the newer Knockbreda Cemetery, still in use today.
