Ballynasceen, County Derry spelled Ballynascreen is a Catholic
Parish. One of the Chapels is called Straw Chapel. Draperstown is the market
town in the parish.

The Church of Ireland is, also, the Parish of Ballynascreen and the
Presbyterian Church is the Parish of Draperstown.

At one time Ballinascreen was the spelling.

It is a very beautiful area.

My Hagan’s and Rea’s came from Ballynascreen I have visited the area several
times..
