Background
He was imprisoned in Armagh under penal laws in 1712 while in his late eighties. He died in Gaol aged 91 years[1]
Brian McGurk was Dean of Armagh for forty years and parish priest of Termonmagurk 1660–1672, arrested five times under the penal law statute, but who out-witted the courts with his knowledge of canon and civil laws yet dying at ninety-one in Armagh gaol. He is still revered as a 'white martyr' in Termonmagurk where both churches, Catholic and Protestant are under the patronage of St. Columcille, the McGurks being the saint's coarbs and erenaghs in that parish.[2]
Brian was born and raised in the townland of Aughnagreggan, near Carrickmore, County Tyrone. In 2013 a small monument was erected on the site of his home to commemorate the 300th anniversary of his death. A secondary school in the village is named after him. A Celtic cross stands in the grounds of the Roman Catholic Church dedicated to his memory.
