- Once upon a time there was an old ruined chapel in Marleyhill. The man who owned the field in which it was built wanted to plough the floor of the chapel. He had two men working with him who refused to turn the first sod. He then ploughed a few sods and the two men started and ploughed it all up. A short time after the man who ploughed first was sitting down reading a book and he died. One of the working men was riding a horse and fell off and was killed. The other man was running after a horse and he jumped on to a ditch and fell into a pond and was drowned.
