    About two or three miles from our house there is a place called chapeltown. It is said that Mass used to be said in a little chapel beside a bush. It is said there is no thorns on the bush ever since. There was always a man watching the priest and if was caught he would be killed, There was a man living in an old castle in Castlestrange. He was a priesthunter and he used to watch the priest.
