Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Fonaby Sack Stone Hidden away in a hedge beside a farm track is this legendary stone. The story goes thus: St Paulinus was a missionary in the 7th century. One day he was riding his ass along the ancient trackway above Caistor. The ass was more obstinate than usual because it hadn't had any breakfast. St Paulinus saw a man up ahead who was sowing corn. Perhaps he would share some of the grain? He asked the man for some corn from the sack in the field. 'Oh that's not a sack,' replied the farmer. 'That's - a stone.' A stone, eh. 'Then stone it shall be' retorted St Paulinus. And so it was. For more information see http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2244 |
