  1. Cheese was not made very much in this parish, only one family - Dooleys of Longford, excelled in home-made cheese. They used to kill a calf and save its stomach to obtain rennet for the cheese.
    In some places candles were run in moulds, there was a mould at Pratts' in Camross. Every Christmas they would kill a sheep and afterwards they would melt up the tallow and run candles.
