- The Story of SchombergThere is a grave inside the iron gates beside the Lodge Bridge of Oldbridge. It is in the field called the Forge Field, and it was always known by the people of the district as Schomberg's grave. It is believed that he was killed fighting gallantly at the ford opposite the Lodge Bridge.
There is a sort of iron cross on the grave. Peggy McGuinness (Scholáire)Got from: Patrick McGuinness (50)
