- Long ago the people of this parish had no shoes any day of the week except on Sundays and when they went to the market. They used take their shoes under their arm until they reached the Chapel gate there they would put them on. They were afraid they would wear them if they left them on all the ways when they came out from Mass again before they left the Chapel gate they took them off again and walked home barefooted. It was usually when they got their Confirmation they got the first pair.
