    OLD CRAFTS: LINEN WEAVING
    Long ago flax was grown in Annagh in the parish of Churchtown, Mallow. There were flax mills in the district then. A colony of weavers from Antrim settled in the district and introduced the industry.
    There is a field in the locality called the “Bleach Field” where flax used to be bleached.. There was an old mill worked by wind hence the name “Windmill” a town land in Churchtown. Several of the Antrim weavers are buried in the old graveyard of Kilgroggan.
