- This is a story about a priest who lived in this district during the Penal Days.
The place in which he used to say Mass is very far from the main road. Here he celebrated Mass about twice a month. A large crowd of people used to attend. He had a nice place in which he used to say Mass.
When Mass was over the people would go home quietly to their homes. One of the fields at that place is now called the Chapel Field, and the other place is called the Priest's Field.
