St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church Now known as Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
|
This was a Catholic chapel on the Irnham Estate until about 1853 when the estate was sold to Protestants.
|
Permission was given for the chapel to be relocated. Each stone was numbered by the eight or so stone masons that were brought in to do the work.
|
It is said that Peter Dawson Cocks helped move over 1,000 of these stones from Irnham to Corby Glen, about 2 1/2 miles.
