Summary edit
| Description |
English: Twelve O'Clock Rock, Trink Hill This hunk of granite perches on the southern slope of Trink Hill, a prominent feature on this side of the hill.
The rock is also known as the Twelve-O'Clock Stone after the folklore associated with it. From Popular Romances of the West of England: "NUMBERS of people would formerly visit a remarkable Logan stone, near Nancledrea, which had been, by supernatural power, impressed with some peculiar sense at midnight. Although it was quite impossible to move this stone during daylight, or indeed by human power at any other time, it would rock like a cradle exactly at midnight. Many a child has been cured of rickets by being placed naked at this hour on the twelve-o'clock stone. If, however, the child was "misbegotten," or, if it was the offspring of dissolute parents, the stone would not move, and consequently no cure was effected." |
