- A thistle once grew in the Leck Churchyard, Staleen, in the form of a cross. Numbers of people were flocking to see it, and when the Bishop heard of it he had it cut down, and it is said that when it was cut it bled. The thistle grew over the grave of an old 'traveller' whose corpse was found on the bank of the River Boyne near the Leck.
