The material for this booklet, printed for the 325th anniversary of Abbotshall Church, comes largely from the pen of the late James B. Smith who obviously delved deeply into the records and annals of the past in order to verify the facts. The stories are about places, things and people which stem naturally from their own times and their own settings.
