"On the farm called Kirkbride there was once a church dedicated to St Bride It foundations may still be traced a part of the churchyard wall forms the Side of a Cottage. A tenant on the adjoining land remembers that forty years ago he dug up decayed pieces of coffins with iron handles Skulls and other bones. The site was evidently chosen from the proximity of a well of remarkably pure water which never fails in the driest seasons"
