  1. St. Fiacre
    St. Fiacre's Well is in the country. It is situated on the banks of the Nore. St Fiacre lived there as a hermit for many years. When he died a sculptor made a statue of him and placed it at the entrance to the well. An English soldier broke the head off and as he climbed the rocks from the well he fell and his head fell off.
