- In olden times the people made their own butter and sold it on the market. Sometimes the highway men or robbers broke the windows and stole the firkins of butter, so the people put bars on all the windows down the stairs.
On May day the butter was also stolen. In the morning the people found the butter in the wells, and in the fields and sometimes it was got on the doors.- Informant
