The village sign shows Ye Ancient Britons and the nasty Danes in front of the hill fort. Legend has it that their battle was rather vicious, hence the rather disgusting name of the road down the hill – Bloodgate – down which all the blood from the slaughter flowed. Nasty.
Village folklore says that at certain times, you can hear the sounds of battle and even see blood running down the hill. As a South Creake girl, I used to walk 'round the hill' often, to see if this was true.
