All Saints' Church of Ireland, Newtown Cunningham
Newtown Cunningham, sometimes spelled Newtowncunningham or abbreviated to Newton (Irish: An Baile Nua), is a village in the Laggan district in the east of County Donegal, located on the N13 road 18 km east of Letterkenny and 16 km west of Derry.

Originally a Chapel of Ease built in 1722, the church building was completed and consecrated on All Saints’ Day, 1st November 1722. The tower was added in 1808. An unusual feature of All Saints’ Church is its lych gate. Although lych gates are common in England, there are only four or five in Ireland. All Saints' lych gate has over it the inscription "I am the Resurrection and the Life" (LinkExternal link Find a Grave).
