    The Patron Saint.
    St Clement was the Patron St of this district.
    He had a chapel in Duncormick and the field in which it was situated is now called Chapel Meadow.
    There is also a holy well belonging to him under the bank of the river and when the tide is in it comes up over it, but it never becomes salty some say it cures warts and more say it cures sores eyes.
