    A part of our "Kiln Field" is known as "Inch a Wee".

    A part of our "Kiln Field" is known as "Inch a Wee". There is an old story connected with it.
    Once upon a time there was a lady living miles away from our house. She was very sick and she dreamt three times in succession that a potatoe would be found in "Inch-a-Wee" that would cure her.
    She sent a man on horseback to fetch it and he was a couple of days on the road. He came into the garden took the potato and rode away. When he reached home the lady ate the potato and immediately she was cured.
