    My granny told me this story.
    Not far from my house there is a field and in the middle of it htere is a tree which people say that every morning long ago there was mass said at. The tree is there still but no blossoms grow on it. It is rotton but it has never fallen. Many beads were found at it. There is a very large stone in the same field which it is said that fairies used to dance and play about.
