  1. About one mile from here there is a very old churchyard. It is hundreds of years since anyone was buried there and only one headstone remains. On this headstone is a small stone the shape of a loaf and if you take down that "loaf" in the night it would be up again in the morning. There are some words on the large stone, which cannot be made out.
