- Once upon a time there was a Convent beside Cross Hill where nuns lived. One day soldiers came and killed the nuns and put them away. Some time after when Twy house was built the people got the cross in the old buildings and when they were digging they broke one arm of it. And then they said they would put it on the big hill and so they did and that is why the hill is called Cross Hill.
