  1. In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    A story is told in this district about a Catholic Priest and a Protestant who met on a bridge near a graveyard. A dispute rose between them and the Protestant killed the Priest. When this was heard the people put the Protestant to death. His name was Fox and the night after he being buried the graveyard moved across to the other side of the road. The head-stone that was at Fox's head fell into the river and it is said that it can be seen there to this day. The bridge is called Fox's Bridge.
