They re-built the house and an ancestor of Mr.George Shackleton, from the village bought it, and from that day onwards it is said a white lady appears once a year. When she comes she and two fairies feast together. It is said they leave a crock of gold in a sill under the landing. My Father and Mr.J Gleeson saw the white lady at Fairyhouse gate one night in 1936.

Sometimes he falls.
