The Chiding Stone
This is a great lump of sandstone, formed about 135 million years ago when this part of the world was a swampy mess. This large rock is called the Chiding Stone, because (so they say) nagging wives and other wrong-doers were brought here and rebuked – or chided – by the massed villagers. An early form of trial by social media. Regrettably – no one knows whether it is true, or not.
