- In the penal times a priest lived in Rathimney Co. Wexford named Father Tierney. He was hunted from his curacy in Carne, Co. Wexford by the English soldiers and was obliged to take refuge in his home.At that time there was no coal burned. The turf was taken into the kitchen to be burned. There was a little room in which the turf was piled up to the door in such a manner as to make it invisible.
In this room the priest had his altar and said mass for the members of the household.- Collector
