19 LM21: Wasps Nest

There are many theories as to how this tiny settlement got its name. One story that seems to hold more credence than others was related by an old woman known as Granny Clayton who used to live down Nocton Fen. According to her, the original Wasps Nest was a building that had an outer door from every room to the yard - a bit like the cells of a wasp's nest. It was rumoured to be a haunt of highwaymen in years past, as it provided many alternative escape routes. There was even a priest's hole located in the chimney to provide a convenient hiding place.
