- Ballylangley was called its name because a man named John Langly who came over from England with Cromwell lived there. When Langly was dying he willed that all the Catholic neighbours should be invited to his wake and for 3 days and 3 nights they should get plenty of whiskey and stout. His object for doing so was that when they were all drunk they would fight and kill one another. But he failed and John went to his reward.
