The terrier of the 17th century Down Survey map of Tullow Parish recorded that ‘upon the land of Tulloephellim is a Towne, A Church & a Castle’ (NLI MS 726). The church and castle of Tullow are depicted on the Down Survey map of Tullow parish (NLI MS 726). Present St. Columba's C of I parish church is presumed to have replaced earlier medieval parish church (CW008-045006-).

The graveyard contains a circular font (CW008-045012-) and the base of a cross (CW008-045013-). Modern graveyard extension to the N and E of earlier graveyard.
