- There was once a wealthy lord living in Baltinglass. He employed a lot of local labourers. He made them work hard for a small wage. The hours for working were from the song of the lark till the setting of the sun. The men did not like this so they prayed to God that a lark might never sing on his land. From that day till this a lark never sang on his land. Out side his boundary they can be hear any time.
