Summary edit
| Description |
English: Jeppe Knave Grave The words Jeppe Knave Grave on the OS map relate to this circular grass-covered mound about 15 m in diameter with a stone filled depression in the centre measuring 5 x 3 m.
This is thought to be a mutilated Bronze Age burial mound which would have originally contained the body of a local chieftain. However local legend refers to a man Jeppe outlawed for breaking forest laws during early Norman times. Whitaker in His History of Whalley (1818) said The name occurs in a record of the boundaries between Wiswell and Pendleton dated 1342, and is there said to be derived from a robber who was beheaded and was buried at that point because the neighbouring vills refused to have him buried within them. |
