    West of the bridge and a single one East of the Bridge. All the people who die in the castle are buried in led coffins. Mr Peppard used to work on the road for the County Council. There is a wood near this place called the "Grotto Wood" because there is supposed to be a Grotto in it. There was a lady named Mrs. Woods killed near a tree and this tree is called the "Macken" tree.
