"There is a fair held in this place on the 12th of August in every year for the exhibition & sale of horses, horned cattle &c but is gone much to the bad in consequence of a [party] fight which happened there about 5 years ago in which there were 3 persons killed and several others wounded. Before that period it was always considered a good fair." [Desc. Rem.];
