  1. There is a story told locally around Mallow that Sir Walter Raleigh who came home from America to his home in Youghal was the first man to be seen smoking a timber pipe in Ireland. As he was walking along his kitchen garden smoking his pipe, his wife seeing smoke, thought he was on fire and threw buckets of water to quench him.
