The foundation stone of the new church at Sallaghy was laid by Mrs Selina G Crichton, in company with her husband Lieut Col John Crichton, in the presence of many witnesses on the 13th July 1840, who came from their seat in Crom to honour us on the solemn ceremony, which was performed by the Venerable Archdeacon Russell of the Diocese, concluded by a very interesting and impressive address on the occasion, in presence of me also. Registered and written at Newtownbutler, the day and date above written. John M Graydon, Curate of Galloon
