- In this neighbourhood long ago were many local craftsmen, who in their old way were very skilled. One splendid example of local craftsman ship is the wooden altar in our church at the present day , and it was made and carved by a local man - John Collins ( R.I.P.) whose relatives are still in the neighbourhood. His nephew - Tom Collins - now facing 80 year - is still alive + was in his day a tailor of high repute. He is a real store of Folklore but it is very difficult to understand what he says tho' he's quite willing + more[?] than[?] anxious[?] to chat about old times +old [?] days.
