    There is a gate leading from the field to the old road, and the Bishop is said to be seen standing there, and many people claim to have seen him. One man whose name is not known tried to pass the ghost one night, but he was knocked unconscious, he went mad, and after two months, he died.
    Near this little village is a moat which was dug up about a hundred years ago and the people around there say that they found the vessels which Cromwell hid and sent them to the museum.
