    Share Share Post
    The Seven-bell-hole is in the property of County Council. There was a man who had seven daughters. One day he got very angry and he threw the seven of them down the hole. It is said that they were turned into seven bells.
    He went to America and after some time he returned. He went to the hole every day and he heard cries from the hole. At the end it went to his head and the end of him was that he threw himself into the hole.
