  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are many graveyards in the parish of Castletown. There is a graveyard in Rockfield and it is one of our fields and it is about two fields away from our house. Long ago people were buried in it and there are the ruins of an old church in it also. This churchyard is not in use yet but when Alfred Martin was living in Rockfield there was someone buried in it.
    It is said that long ago a priest was passing through the field beside it one dark night and he fell into the little lake which was in the field and was drowned
