031 A small plain built edifice, being the Parish Church. It was erected in 1840 on the site of its predecessor, on the walls of which "various stones on which singular devices had been cut were discovered imbedded in the building. Two stones on which crosses are finely carved with accompanying hieroglyphics may be particularly mentioned, These stones it is probable has their origin about the time of the introduction of Christianity into our country, and would seem to be a connecting link between Pagan mythology and Christian worship, several rude relics which may have been esteemed precious in the time of Romish supremacy, were likewise found"
