Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th September
Guided Walk Around Saintfield
Members of Saintfield Heritage Society will give a guided tour of the many listed buildings and the conservation area of Saintfield, sharing their stories and history along the way. Until 1712 Saintfield was known as Tonaghneave – Tamnach naomh, “the field of the saint”. Neither the origin of the name nor the location of a saintly field are known today. The town was largely the creation of the Price family.
