Three miles outside Enniskillen on the road to Tempo, there's a church that's 152 years old this September. For forty years at the turn of last century, Canon John Hall was in charge of Holy Trinity parish in the townlands of Garvary and Feddans. Not only was he a good minister he was very influential in farming, and well known for his prize winning bulls.
