- Collected from Mrs John Lynch Oldtown
Navan
Her present residence was built in 1840.
Prior to that the family lived in a thatched house which is still used as an outhouse.
Once when the Connaught harvesters were in the place the house went on fire.
While the place was still smoking the monks from [?farnham] came to collect alms.
Mrs Brew gave cheerfully of what she had. The holy man blessed the place and saw that it would never again be destroyed by fire.- Informant
