A very chilly walk over the fields today. It is certainly beginning to feel like Autumn! This area of land on the parish boundary is, I was told by the farmer, known as 'Gallows Corner'. A search of the internet doesn't provide any further information about this but as gallows were often placed on a boundary, projecting into the next parish so that the spirit of the hanged would not haunt the parish that hanged them, it seems a possible reason for the name.
