NEWTOWNARDS (pron. Newtondrds) , a market town of Co. Down, Ireland, beautifully situated near the northern extremity of
Strangford
  Lough, on a branch of the Belfast and Co. Down railway, 91 M. E. of Belfast. Pop. (1901) 9110. The town is sheltered by the Scrabo Hills on the west and north, and possesses a fine square, in which the pedestal of an ancient
cross
  was erected in 1636. Muslin
embroidery
  is the
principal
  industry. There are also mills for flax and hemp yarns, a weaving factory and a hosiery factory. The remains of the old
church
 , originally erected in 1244, contain. good Perpendicular
work
 , and the
family vault of the Londonderrys; there are also the parish
church
  and Presbyterian church, with lofty spires, and a Roman Catholic chapel. In the neighbourhood there are freestone quarries.
The town owes its origin to a Dominican monastery founded in 1244 by Walter de
Burgh
 . It was forfeited by the O'Neills, and given to the Hamiltons and Montgomeries, from whom it passed to the marquess of Londonderry. It received a charter from James I., and until the
Union
  in 1800 returned two members to
parliament
 .' The ruined abbey of Moville, r k m. N.E., is the most notable of the many ecclesiastical remains in the neighbourhood. It is attributed to St Finian (c. 550).
