  1. Patron Saints

    Leathanach 074

    The people of Clogher intended to bury their saint in his church in Clogher but the parishoners of Termonfeckin came to St Denis' Well where the body was being waked, stole the corpse & made off with it to bury it in Kilslaughtery. The theft was discovered. The Clogher people followed, overtook the funeral procession & demanded back the corpse. A fight ensued, but where the coffin had been laid there were now two coffins exactly alike.
    The Clogher people got their choice & the remaining coffin was taken to Kilslaughtery. So the people of this parish believe St Denis is buried here. The people of Clogher say he is buried with them.
    St Denis' Well is on the north side of Clogher Head along the sea shore. The tide washes up almost to the well & surrounds the dolman on which he (St Denis) is said to have been waked. Kilslaughtery is about 3 miles (as the crow flies) inland, south west of the Well. Some people say Kilslaughtery & the head of Clogher are connected by an underground passage which ends in a cave at the base of the head. This cave is locally known as "The Red House". It is said to have been used by sumgglers. It was used as a hiding place in times of Religious persecution

    St Patrick was the first bishop of the Diocese of Clogher. He then gave it over to a man called Macarten. Some people think that Patrick was always bishop of Clogher but it is understood that he founded the Diocese of Clogher and was first bishop of it. There is a story about the way Macarten got to be the next bishop of Clogher and here it is.
    Patrick and another few Irish priests went through Ireland preaching and among these men was known as the faithful friend of Patrick for he helped him in all his difficulties through Ireland. Macarten was a strong healthy man. At this time there were very few bridges and Patrick and his men had to cross a lot of rivers. Every time Patrick came to a river Macarten would hoist him up on his shoulder and carry him across very carefully. So Macarten became known as the "strong man of Patrick". Patrick made all the other priests into bishops and gave them all jobs and he kept Macarten to help him on his journeys. One day they to the river Black-water on the border of Monaghan

The woods of Townley Hall on the left are picturesque and the wooded Hill of Donore where James pitched his camp can be seen in the distance to the right. the road from here brings us straight to Drogheda and here the memories of bloodshed and slaughter in the time of Cromwell crowd in upon us. If we turn to the left at "Lacken" we are now on the "Old Road" leading to Clogher, so called to distinguish it from the "New Road" leading from Rathkenny Church to Clogher also. This former village of Rathkenny past "Kenny's Fort" with its ruins of an old castle, and ascends the "Miller's Hill" where it meets the "Old Road".

    There is a great stone in Clogher till the present day and there was a giant buried under it. One day a man from Eglish was over there and he lifted one of the stones. He looked down and saw a bottle. When he was about to lift the second stone a voice called to him to get away from that grave. He left that moment and for a long time he never was seen about Clogher. About seven years after that he was after sheep about the same place. When he came near the grave he saw a man sitting on the stone which lay over it. He heard him singing a song about if any man would lift that stone that he would be put to death before the end of that week. From that day to this no one went near these few stones. It is to be found on the farm of Kathleen Kelly of Clogher.

In some Street in Sligo he met a small man and they got into a conversation. The small man asked him did he live close to Clogher graveyard and he said "Yes." "You seem to be a poor man" said the small man. "I am" replied Clarke. "Well if you come with me to night you will never be poor again" So Clarke asked him where he was taking him and the wee man told him to Clogher graveyard. "Under the church door there is a pot of gold," said he, "We will go there to night at twelve oclock." But Clarke would not wait until then. He said he would have to tell his wife first. The little wee man told him that he could not go home if he was to get the pot of gold. But Clarke persisted on getting home. He wanted to get a rosary beads. So finally when he would not go the little wee man told him that he Clarke was a poor man and would die a poorer man. Immediately the little man vanished.

    There is a large rock situated in a field belonging to Mrs. OConnor of Clogher. It can be seen on the left hand side of the road by anyone going from Clogher Cross to Castleisland. There are many legends told in connection with this group of rocks; the chief one being that relating to the fairies gate.
    It is hardly proper to call the cutting in the rock a gate for it has merely the shape of the frame of a door. This gate is supposed to connect with an underground passage leading to
