    Delaney's house. It was blown up with gun powder by the Cromwellians. There was an old Mass cave in the islands of Clonmeen where mass was celebrated for a time during the penal days. Then the priest got it removed to Gragavalla where there was a larger Mass cave. This mass cave was roofed. Then Grogan Church was built by Father Purcell. Four brothers of the Meaghers of Lismorougha who were very strong men, carried the roof of the Mass cave and laid it on the wall over the alter in Grogan and that was all the roof which was on the church for over twelve months. Then there was a thatched roof put on it and finally after many years the slated roof which is still covering the church was put on it.
