  1. (continued from previous page)
    back next morning St Bridget's head was gone back to the graveyard. Each time they brought it down it went back. Once one of the men said he would make it stay in the wall with cement. He brought it down and put it in the wall and he put cement all around it. Then he hit St Bridget's head a crack of his hammer and a bit of it fell on his foot and his foot never got better and you can see the bit gone off her face all the time. The man's foot never got better and he had to get it off.
