The tallest standing stone in Britain, at just under 8 m in height,
with a circumference of 5m. The pointed top is protected with a
metal cap. Dragged from Cayton or Cornelian Bay 16 Km to the north,
the stone weights an estimated 40 Tons. The stone was erected in
approximately 1600 BC, and its depth into the ground may be as much
as its height! There is a smaller gritstone in the nearby cemetery,
along with a slab cyst grave. An oft-quoted legend recounts how the
Devil threw the stone at the church and missed. Add your saved
