During the Civil War, Oliver Cromwell wanted a local farmer to give his
horses to the Parliamentary army. However, the farmer was a Royalist.
He sent the horses to be shod to a local blacksmith but with instructions
that the horse's feet were to be pricked. Consequently, they were no use
to Cromwell's army.
Further down the road past the old school,
is the
bridle path to Bag Enderby. After about half
a mile at the beck there is a path off to the right which takes you through
to Harden's Gap on the Tetford - South
Ormsby Road.
