   About a mile from this school, in Hennessy's Lodge, Three Castles, Co. Kilkenny, lived an old woman. During the great storm a tree fell on the roof of her house and into the room where the old lady lay in bed. It touched the bed-clothes but she was unharmed.

2. Remains of Old Chapel

   

   Share Share Post

   In one of my father's "tullas" are the remains of an old Church. Mass was celebrated in it over a hundred years ago. About a week before the new church was ready to have Mass celebrated, a priest died and was buried in the old church, and when the new one was consecrated, they brought the body and buried it in the churchyard.
   A florin is believed to be buried in each corner of the new churchyard.
