Ballymoney Old Church Graveyard  (with map of city)
http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/product.aspx?ProductID=3411
    The Church Tower, recently restored with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund,
has been the symbol of the region for many years and features on the Borough Coat of Arms.
Surrounding it are the graves of generations of of Ballymoney families, the oldest discernable headstone belonging to the Camac family (1610).
Among those buried here is George Hutchinson, a Magistrate who brought the local United Irishmen to trial during the rebellion of 1798.
One of the Rebels, Alexander Gamble, was hanged at the Diamond and, 85 years later, his remains were discovered and re-interred here.
The Old Church Graveyard and Tower are now the responsibility of the Borough Council.

Ballymoney Old Churchyard Headstone Survey
http://www.ballymoneyancestry.com/ballymoney-old-churchyard.aspx
     This is a headstone survey of Ballymoney Old Churchyard. Due to the weathered state of many of the stones,
readings were not always possible. In places, the details may be incorrect because of difficulties interpreting the
weathered engravings. However, every effort was made to read and record as much information as possible from each headstone.
    This is not a record of everyone buried in the Old Churchyard.
Many would have been buried without their name being recorded on a headstone, or the headstone may have been removed.
    A map of the location of the headstones is held at Ballymoney Museum.
