- (continued from previous page)Cromwell. He burned some big buildings in the town of Drogheda. Cromwell tried to banish the Catholic Faith.
- Cromwell and this district.
It was Cromwell who knocked down the Monastery in Louth. The reason why he knocked it was that he did not like Catholics. Oliver Cromwell was supposed to be seeking Blessed Oliver Plunket. Blessed Oliver Plunket was not much in this district. He was in Donegal. Blessed Oliver Plunket was supposed to be hiding on Cromwell.
The Plunkets cut the nose off Cromwell and the sword is in Louth Hall yet. After the battle in Tallanstown the Plunkets lost the title of Lords. - Collector
