  1. In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    In the penal times the priests were not allowed to say mass but some priests said mass in some places. As a priest was saying mass in Tomhaggard the priest hunters came along and found him. The priest when he saw them threw the Chalice into the apron of a woman named Mrs Lambert. The woman went out and hid it under a rock called Our Ladys Rock. After some years the Chalice was found by a woman named Mrs Stafford. It was sent to the Museum Dublin. It was afterwards sent back to Tomhaggard where it remains to the present day.
