Further Comments: A driver returning home from work reported passing a figure on horseback, dressed in highwayman's clothing, by the outside wall of the pub. When the witness looked in his rear view mirror, the figure had vanished.

A sandstone cave in the area is said to have been one of Turpin's hideouts.
