Location: | Caxton, CAMBRIDGESHIRE |
Legend: | "A black dog is said to run through the woods on the Croxton Road [now the A45] from Caxton Gibbet to Croxton. His haunt follows the area where criminals who been hung at the Gibbet were transported to the unconsecrated burial ground a short distance away. Like most tales of Shuck in Cambridgeshire, it is said to bring bad luck to those who see it." |
