- St Patrick is the local patron saint. When he visited this parish he built a church where the Protestant church now is.
When he built this church where was a little lake beside it. He wished to remove this lake so one day he stood beside the lake and he threw a large book towards the townland in Shelvins. The book fell in Shelvins and the lake went after it and the lake is still there.
