    “Long ago people used to have no chimney...”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people used to have no chimney or no windows on their houses. There was a man living in Knock and he had a house without a chimney or a window, and if anyone was passing by they would see the smoke coming out in the door. He had no horse only a jennet and the collar he had on him was made of straw.
