  1. The Local Patron Saint

    Share Share Post
    St. David is the patron saint of this district and St. Colman of the diocese of Cloyne.
    The Protestant Church here at present is called St. David's Church. There is a monastery next to it which was belonging to the Franciscans years ago but the Protestants took it from them.
    There is a well in what is called "The Well Lane" called "[?]" and it is connected with the Franciscan monastery. The monastery is now a ruin.
    There is a well in the townland of Ballina dedicated to St. David.
    The name "David" is common round this district.
    There is no special feast kept in his honour in this district.
