Our Portbraddon Secrets:
–  A local myth states that Portbraddon contains the smallest church in Ireland. The small blue building in question was constructed in the 1950s as a cow byre, yet was later converted into a fully operation church. The government listed it without prior research. The church has held many weddings.
