When Cromwell was on his way to Limerick, he had one of his soldiers with him. They camped out side this village. That night a beautiful young lady came along the road, Cromwell and his chief soldier fell for her The soldier said to Cromwell, he would do anything or be anything if he left him the girl. Cromwell told him to be a shoe-maker, knowing if he was a shoe-maker the girl would not have him, and so he would have the girl for himself.
