    funeral some of the local people were passing the old ruins, they noticed that something strange had happened duirng the night and going into the churchyard they found that the old end-wall of the church had actually jumped over the grave, and left it outside and this can be seen to this present day and that is how it got the name of the Jumping Church of Millextown.
