- Many years ago a giant lived near Lyre. He was a huge man being well over eight feet in height. He lifted many huge stones - chief among them being a large rock, which he put up on a six foot wall. It is said that the stone weighed about eight cwts. He could do as much work in one day as any of the local men could do in a week.
