That's no problem js, I'm vaguely in the same neck of the woods so the examples I can remember tend to be around here.
Please do add your story to the king stone site won't you

(scroll down and click 'add folklore')
I love finding mention of these stories and adding them, but they're not half as good as if someone 'local' actually knows them from first hand - especially as these things keep changing over the years, but books of folklore are invariably old.

I'll do that. My mother's blacksmith told me the story years ago. I used to rave about the stones to him. I see by your contributions to the forums that you're quite knowledgable in this area - would you mind if I contacted you again if I get stuck for info?

There is a new book advertised on Amazon : The Lore of the Land: A Guide to England's Legends, from Spring-heeled Jack to the Witches of Warboys by Jennifer Westwood, Jacqueline Simpson £30 (£18 on Amazon)

It seems to be a county by county guide to folktales and is quite hefty. Know anything about it? I might be tempted after Christmas.
