- (continued from previous page)cermony. Around this old church whose wall are still standing are the graves of seven bishops. These bishops were in hiding in the cave of Lockerstown in Cromwells time but the soldiers found them and murdered them. Usher carried the large flags which are over their graves and put them in position. There is a chalice engraved on them. The English soldiers destroyed the church later on. Some of the walls are still standing and one of the windows is in good repair.
