A cave filled with wealth.

Jack o'Legs

Location: Weston - Churchyard, and nearby cave
Type: Legend
Date / Time: Still present?
Further Comments: Jack o'Legs was said to be a very tall man (one account says fourteen feet in height) who, armed with a bow and arrow, robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Legend says he is buried in the churchyard, and a cave somewhere near here may still contain some of his ill-gotten gains.
