  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is an old abbey down in Abington. Monks lived in it before. When they were leaving they hid some valuable vessels in a big hill. Nobody ever made an attempt to get them. Hidden treasure means, gold or silver, or valuable vessels which are hidden. There was never and light seen in this district. There was a step heard at the turn a long time ago.
