    When Sir Frederick Hamilton's Castle in Manorhamilton was set on fire...

    Another version of the same story
    When Sir Fredrick Hamilton's Castle in Manorhamilton was set on fire, the women and children were given permission to leave the castle.
    Mrs Hamilton asked if she could take a parcel. On being told she could do so, she returned and packed Sir Fredrick in a bag (he was a very small man) and carried him on her back to safety.
