"Iron mines were formerly worked in this parish ; but, in consequence of the want of timber for the purpose of charcoal, are now neglected … Minerals must be numerous ; as may be conjectured from the great number of mineral waters both sulphureous and chalybeate, every where to be met with. There are large quarries of mill-stones of a particular fine quality, and very good ones of freestone, together with a species of coarse dark marble, as also great plenty of limestone. Turf bogs also are so very frequent, that, for many years to come, no want of fuel can be apprehended."
