    were Colonel Proby's men.
    He had over thirty men working with him at the time, and he paid each man one pound for their work done that night.
    The cause of this burning was never known. After this terrible occurrence there was a caretaker put to mind the remaining portion of the castle . This castle was slightly repaired afterwards, and the building isto be seen there yet.
