    There is a ruin the centre of the old graveyard called the Abbey. It was once a church and since it came into a ruin there are a few people buried in it. One of which the oldest in the ruin is that of a minister, my mother told me. On the tomb stone is written
    "This stone was erected by Mick Gerrard who departed this life 5th May 1773 aged 75 years"
