Cromwell wrecked the church, and scattered and killed the monks, and burned the monastery. The bell disappeared, but it was heard tolling every evening at twilight for years after. It continues that way for years after, until a cromwellian landlord, by the name of Vero, died and was buried within the Wallo of the rained church, near St. Cuan's grave (He is the petron of Ballybrennan). The bell was heard no more after he was buried there.
