    the parish chapel.
    The reason why it is called "Leap Castle" is that there was going to be a girl murdered in the castle. In the night she jumped out through a window. When she was jumping she came down in a big tree which was outside the window and broke her neck. The tree never grew but it spread out and no leaves ever grew on it.
