Although Pomeroy as a village is relatively small in stature, the carnage and atrocities that republicans have inflicted onto both the local protestant and roman catholic community are on a large scale.

In 1953 upon his release from prison, [[Irish Republican Army]] member and founder of [[Soar Uladh]] [[Liam Kelly (Irish republican)]] arrived in Pomeroy to a huge gathering of local republican sympathisers. Liam was justly rearrested that same year , for publically making derogatory and inciting remarks about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd. His organisation [[Soar Uladh]] then held a massive protest rally in Pomeroy village, attracting support from Pomeroy, [[Cappagh]], [[Galbally]], [[Kildress]] and [[Carrickmore]], numbers believed to be in their thousands. As part of this demonstration these republicans attempted to have a protest parade down Pomeroy street where they were met by members of the Crown forces including the [[Ulster Special Constabulary]] and local loyalists who gallantly beat them back up Pomeroy Street. As there was only approximately 60 loyalists this caused humiliation within the republican community forcing some those involved to hide away in shame, and the battle scar’s were said to be so severe that many local republicans took the wounds to the grave.

In 1981 Local republicans in Pomeroy held a demonstration in Support of the Hunger Strikers in The [[maze prison]] and again attempted to march down Pomeroy. Yet again they were foiled by one local loyalist and our British Crown Forces who battened them back up Pomeroy Street once more.
In 2008 Local [[Sinn Féin]] Members and Republicans met with the area commander within the [[Police Service of Northern Ireland]] to negotiate walking down Pomeroy Street once again to glorify their dead, who was in this case local republican criminal Seamus Woods who got his comeuppance from the lord when he attempted to blow up Pomeroy Police station and all personnel in it in 1988 (The lord works in mysterious ways). This again came to an abrupt end when local loyalists and victims stood firm and objected to this twisted glorification of terrorism. This resulting in the [[Parades Commission]] rerouting the parade from entering the village, they were not only forced to march past a cattle mart but also humiliated as [[Provisional IRA East Tyrone Brigade]] could not walk their own town! . During this saga local [[Sinn Féin]] MLA [[Francie Molloy]] stated on UTV news that “The accommodation was over" This refered to the deal struck with so called loyalists and leaders within the Pomeroy area , this clearly shows that those who objected to the Republican parade cannot be bought by the thirty pieces of silver. Local republicans in the Pomeroy area made a sick DVD to glorify the life and death of terrorist Seamus Woods , on this DVD Wood’s family members admit to having previous knowledge that a bomb attack on Pomeroy Barracks was going to be carried and the personnel in it murdered forty eight hours before the attack happened, to date the PSNI has taken no action on this. The Parish priest in Pomeroy celebrated an anniversary mass for evil fiend Seamus Woods, which severely damaged community relations within the Pomeroy area, the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in Pomeroy also seem to have given permission for an illegal monument glorifying Seamus Woods and other terrorists who got their just desserts to be placed within land they own. The location of this illegal [[Irish Republican Army]] monument has caused controversy as it is located in Lucy Street beside the health centre which is used by both sides of the community, intimidating those families of victims who the [[Irish Republican Army]] murdered to not use the health care facilities and doctor’s surgery.

During what is known worldwide as the ‘troubles’ the [[Irish Republican Army]] in Pomeroy engaged on many terrorist acts of genocide against the local Protestant and Roman Catholic Communities. The following is a list of Protestants and Roman Catholics from the Pomeroy area who were slaughtered at the hands of these cowards during thirty five years of bloodshed within [[Northern Ireland]]:

21) Reginald McCollum. Protestant. 21/05/1994. Single. He was kidnapped and shot by the [[Irish Republican Army]] from an [[Armagh]] Pub. He lived in Sandholes between Pomeroy and [[Cookstown]].

After the 1994 [[Irish Republican Army]] ceasefire local republicans from Pomeroy had to think of a new strategy to ethnic cleanse Pomeroy as they could no longer shoot and bomb the Protestants out of Pomeroy. In the summer of 1996 local republicans orchestrated a campaign to Boycott the three remaining protestant businesses from the village. Literally overnight all catholic customers avoided purchasing goods from protestant businesses because the [[Irish Republican Army]] stood outside the doors intimidating anyone who spent their money within a protestant business would be ‘severely dealt with’. The [[Irish Republican Army]] even lowered themselves to drill holes in the oil tanks of those who purchased fuel from a protestant distributor.

The most recent step the [[Irish Republican Army]] and their sympathisers in the area did to ruin community relations was in the summer of 2008 when they involved the local GAA club [[Pomeroy Plunketts]] in their sick glorification of terrorism by using their facilities and club rooms to hold a comemoration for [[Irish Republican Army]] terrorist Seamus Woods. [[Pomeroy Plunketts]] up until this event were viewed neutral and held with high esteem by both sides of the community as they had protestant backroom staff.

In 2008 local [[Sinn Féin]] supporters embarked in an orchestrated campaign to permanently close [[Police Service of Northern Ireland]]. This was carried out by encouraging their sympathisers to bombard minister for policing and justice [[Paul Goggins]] with emails to try and persuade him that removing the Police Station would be for the betterment of all of the community in Pomeroy. Of course removing the local outlet for law and order not only gives the local republicans a free run with their illegal activities but also removes a part of the Brutishness from Pomeroy. Many of the names of innocent victims mentioned above died while either on their way from or to Pomeroy Police station to guard it.

In late 2008 and local republicans reached an all time low when they launched an arson attack at the Bonn Orange Hall in Pomeroy. This showed the utmost intolerance shows by local republicans to the Protestant community within the area, and was a further attempt to eradicate the British, Unionist, Loyalist and Protestant Culture from Pomeroy.

Down through the years the [[Irish Republican Army]] in Pomeroy has always tried to ruin community relations and have tried on numerous occasions to place a wedge between the Protestant and Roman Catholic communities. Fortunately time after time the good Catholics and Protestants within Pomeroy have not let this happen and remain friends, neighbours and [[Christians]].

Pomeroy is a small village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, situated 10 miles (16 km) from Cookstown, 8 miles (13 km) from Dungannon and 18 miles (29 km) from Omagh. According to the 2001 Census it had a population of 604 people.

Pomeroy is the highest village in County Tyrone. Its prominent site dominates the surrounding countryside, and is marked out by several church spires. From the Cookstown end, the road through the village gradually climbs a gradient up to the middle of the square, The Diamond. In The Diamond are the Altedesert Church of Ireland and the Central Bar on the opposite side of the road. The Diamond is a popular drinking area and Market Day is held there every Tuesday.

Several mountain ranges surround the village, including the Mountains of Pomeroy and the Sperrins. The countryside around consists of a mixture of moorland and bog land. Stone age and Bronze age cairns are situated in many places.

History

At the end of the 17th Century there was no village in this area, just an extensive forest. During the plantation of Ulster, some eight townlands were granted by James I to Sir William Parsons, Surveyor General of Ireland. In 1729 the land was inherited by James Lowry on the death of his father, Robert of Aghenis Caledon.

In the eighteenth century, two new parishes were created in Tyrone - and the same family, the Lowerys (from whom issued the Earls of Belmore), was involved in the establishment of both. Pomeroy was created from part of Donaghmore, while Clogherny was taken from Termonmaguirc. The arrangement was validated in 1731 by an Order in Council, which had the same legal status as an Act of Parliament, and the articles of agreement under which it was conducted by the two parties involved, Lord Tyrone and Robert Lowery, suggest the tone: The name of each of the new erected parishes shall be wrote on a separate scrole of parchment, roll'd up and put into a hatt, to be held by an indeffernet peron,.. and that the said Marcus, Lord Viscount of Tyrone, and Robert Lowry shall each put his hand into the said hatt, and take thereout one of the said scroles, and that the advowson of that parish which shall be mentioned in the said scrole .. to be drawn out of the said hatte, by the said Lord Tyrone, shall stand and be the advowson of the said .. Tyrone, his heirs and assigns, for ever."

In 1750 Rev. James Lowry was granted the right to hold a weekly market in Pomeroy and an important event was the twice yearly Hiring Fair, held in May and November. Men and women from the surrounding countryside would gather at the fair and hire themselves out to work as farm labourers and servants. During the 1640’s the large forest had been stripped of timber and for many years after remained in a neglected state. In 1770, the Rev. James Lowry undertook its management replanted approximately 556 acres (2.25 km2) and bequeathed money to erect the mansion, Pomeroy House. The Lowry family played a prominent part in the life of the area for about two hundred years.

In the attractive little square is the Anglican Church which dates from the early 1840’s. The belfry and tower of the church were provided by the Lowry family as a token of their esteem for Pomeroy.

Much of the woodland is gone and the Georgian mansion demolished. All that remains is their burial vault on the Tanderagee Road. This was once approached by the longest avenue of Chilean Pine trees in Ireland.

The road leading from Pomeroy to the village of Donaghmore is known as the Royal Road because in 1689 King James II took this route to visit his troops in Derry during the historic siege. This route brought him through Cappagh and Altmore. Just outside Cappagh is King James’s Well, located by the road side.

The Troubles

For more information see The Troubles in Pomeroy (Tyrone), Although Pomeroy as a village is relatively small in stature, the carnage and atrocities that republicans have inflicted onto both the local protestant and roman catholic community are on a large scale.

In 1953 upon his release from prison, Irish Republican Army member and founder of Soar Uladh Liam Kelly (Irish republican) arrived in Pomeroy to a huge gathering of local republican sympathisers. Liam was justly rearrested that same year , for publically making derogatory and inciting remarks about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd. His organisation Soar Uladh then held a massive protest rally in Pomeroy village, attracting support from Pomeroy, Cappagh, Galbally, Kildress and Carrickmore, numbers believed to be in their thousands. As part of this demonstration these republicans attempted to have a protest parade down Pomeroy street where they were met by members of the Crown forces including the Ulster Special Constabulary and local loyalists who gallantly beat them back up Pomeroy Street. As there was only approximately 60 loyalists this caused humiliation within the republican community forcing some those involved to hide away in shame, and the battle scar’s were said to be so severe that many local republicans took the wounds to the grave.
