  1. The Jealous Man and Woman

    Share Share Post
    The jealous man and woman were a married couple who lived at Newtown Trim. They lived to be very old and during their life they were jealous. However death separated them, when the man died the woman got jealous because the man died first. Very soon after she died herself and they were both buried in a very large tomb with three figures carved out on the top.
