WHISPERING KNIGHTS
Legend has it that at the nearby Rollright Stones, an Iron Age King and his army were crossing the Cotswolds and stumbled upon a cackling witch who took an instant disliking to the king and his men and turned them to stone: the King became the 'King Stone' and his petrified knights the 'Whispering Knights'. It is said that ‘no one shall live who counts the stones three times and finds the number the same’...
