- Place Names
The Parish of St. John gets its name from St. John the Evangelist. There is no tradition to show how it got this name. The outlying districts are Dunmore and Johnswell. Dunmore is noted for its caves which are supposed to be connected by underground passages with The Tholsel and Castle. Others say there is an underground passage to the Black Abbey.
