  1. The Chapel Field

    Share Share Post
    There is a field near my house called the chapel field, it was called that name because there was a chapel built there, and some of the stones are still to be seen.
    About to hundred yards south from the place where the chapel was, is a graveyard, and the headstones are sunk in the ground and some of them can be seen.
    The graveyard is situated about one hundred yards north from the Blessed Will which is in a moor.
    The chapel was situated about a quarter of a mile from Adamstown Village and was on the lands of Mr O'lgrman
