    “When Major Harvey of Bargy died his bones were burned into ashes.”

    Share Share Post
    When Major Harvey of Bargy died his bones were burned into ashes. His ashes were buried out-side the hall door of Bargy Castle. Every night his sister would leave a glass of wine and a cup of tea and bread and butter for her brother. Every night some boyoes of the place went to the grave and got the wine and tea and bread and butter and drank them. This went on for a very long time.
