- St Patrick during his peregrinations in Ireland called at a house in Follestown which was situated beside a stream of water.He asked for some butter and was told there was none altho there was a crock of it in the house at the same time.He changed the crock of butter into a stone which he put in the stream as a stepping stone. Mrs King says she often walked on this stone.I never heard this story before but will make inquiries in the Follestown district.
