- This story tells that when old Major Boyse of Bannow House died he was being buried. The four horses that were under the hearse were not able to pull the corpse.
There was a Catholic man near by and he took off his coat which had his rosary beads in its pocket and he laid it on the horses' backs and they immediately went ahead with the funeral.
