Christmas Cribs in Youghal and East Cork Churches: A short film clip showing the beautiful Christmas cribs in some of the churches in East Cork. There is great work that goes into building the cribs by all the volunteers. The Christmas crib in the Star of the Sea church in Ballycotton was a work of art made in the shape of an old wooden ship. The crib at St. Raphael's church in Youghal was another thing of beauty. Sadly both these cribs are no more. The Star of the Sea crib is much smaller one now.

Christmas Cribs featured are:
St. Mary's Collegiate Church, Youghal.
The Church of the Holy Family, Youghal.
Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Youghal.
St. Patrick's Church, Inch.
St Ita's Church, Gortroe.

The story of William Perrott may never have been recalled had it not been for a periwinkle picker accidentally discovering the inscription, hidden under seaweed, during the 1970s. Over the years small barnacles had grown into the depressions of the letters and made his name stand out against the dark surface of the rocks.
For some unknown reason the seaman tried to swim ashore from the boat "Daisy" as it lay anchored at the mouth of the River Blackwater sometime in 1933. It is believed that after the funeral his brother carved William's name into the rocks.
Almost 80 years later, on Saturday, 24th March 2012, relatives and local members of the local community commemorated the dead seaman by visiting the rock where his name is etched. Prayers were recited and songs sang before proceeding to Templemichael graveyard where a new timber cross was installed on William’s grave.
(Recorded March 2012)
