contractor who was supposed to be a McLoughlin from
Enniskillen and his three sons. The stones with which the big bridge was built were excavated by manual labour from huge rocks found in Garvolt. The chisels were sharpened in a nearby forge, which was specially erected by the contractor for that purpose. He was so keen that when the bridge was finished there was only one stone left over, and it can be seen nearby up to the present day. After the bridge was completed and the wooden supports were taken away a loud crackling noise was heard which frightened the contractor so much that he was unfit to undertake any other building contracts. A story is told about the forge which remained long after the construction of the bridge was finished. One night a local farmer decided to use it as a byre to "house" his calves for the winter. As he was driving them in, clods were thrown from all directions and the farmer cried aloud "Let me house my calves for the winter and I will never bother you again." The clodding stopped and the farmer was granted his wish. Many foreign visitors come to fish in the Abhann Mhor and marvel at the structure of the bridge. Geologists ask many questions about it. A "turkey's claw" which is a mark left by sappers who were mapping Ireland is in view on the top of the bridge

over 60 baptisms and 30 marriages took place in
Glangevlin in 1872. In 1856 Fr. Hugh Magauran built a new church and erected the famous bell used during evictions. The old church was used as a parochial house. In 1978 the church was in need of essential maintenance and a new tiled roof replaced the old slated one. In addition an extension and porch were added to the church structure. The old magnificent altar, adorned with the apostles, was moved forward to allow the priest to face the congregation. The original bell tower was situated alongside the church. It was re-dedicated on 6 August 1978. Recently the tower was relocated to the rear of the church

The first church was built on a hill in
Garvolt. It was replaced by a thatched building erected in 1796 inside the present church gates. In the 1850s the church was very much in need of repair and much too small to accommodate the rising population of that time. From parish records we can see that
