- Lannin, the Hatter was a Bandon Protestant who used to sell hats, made by himself, at Timoleague fair. He used have the hats on a table at the cross from which the road leads to the present Church. He lived probably before Ferguson. Barryroe women used walk to Bandon about once a fortnight to market. Lannin met some of them and insulted them. When the next fair day came in Timoleague, the men attacked him and actually killed him as a punishment. One old woman was so indignant she actually came to help the men and put her foot down on his face as he lay on the ground.
