  1. Hidden Treasure.
    Once upon a time there was an amount of gold being found. There was a crock of gold at the back wall of Lea Castle. a man named Richard Brady heard of it. He got his shovel and spade one day and started digging for the gold. A white lady appeared to him and said "The child that owned it was not born yet". He went home without it.
