  1. Our Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is one Holy well in the parish. The name of it is the Abbey well. People visit this well on the 29th of June and the 15th of August. They go round the well three times and say prayers. Some people say that Saint Patrick made this well with his foot. There is a hawthorn bush at this well.
