A council is aiming to safeguard the former Co Tyrone residence of the poet behind one of our most-loved hymns.
A motion calling for the preservation of Milltown House, where hymn writer Cecil Frances Alexander lived, has received the support of Derry City and Strabane councillors.
Mrs Alexander is best known for the hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful .
The Notice of Motion also called for the other buildings on the old Strabane Grammar School site at Liskey Road, Strabane, to be preserved as well as looking into the possibility of pursuing a Community Asset Transfer.
SDLP councillor Jason Barr brought the notice and explained to councillors: This has become very popular among the people of Strabane and the surrounding areas to preserve this site to keep it for tourism and community use.

On Sunday, 7th February this year, all roads led to Agbowa-Sagamu, Ogun State as Brother Akinola Olumakinde Soname was formally invested with the office of Lay President, Methodist Church Diocese of Remo, Ogun State. Soname is my “egbon” and friend. A banker, financial expert and business administrator of repute, he is also a philanthropist par excellence. I did not know the Lay President of a thing was a big issue until D-Day came. I then began to search and ask questions as well as brush up on the Methodist Church as a whole.
As I left primary school in my home town of Owo in 1967, Methodist Secondary School, Owo was my favourite as the next port of call. I wrote and passed the entrance examination and promptly presented myself at the school on resumption day – but my father would have none of it. He refused to pay my school fees or sew my school uniform. I must attend Owo High School, the school founded by “the Leader,” Pa Michael Adekunle Ajasin, or nothing!
