    In Cromwell's time Cromwell went around out the people from their castles. He went along until he came to Gormanstown he met a man putting out stones on the road and he asked him who lived here in this castle. He replied, "Lord Gormanstown".
    Cromwell went up to the castle and knocked oat he door. Lord Gormanstown came and Cromwell asked who lives here. The Lord said, "Lord Gormanstown today but I don't know who tomorrow". Cromwell replied, "Lord Gormanstown today and Lord Gormanstown for ever."
