Jack O' Legs Grave

Highlight • Religious Site

The pretty little Hertfordshire village of Weston is home to the legend of Jack o'Legs, a freakishly tall man who would steal from shops in the nearby town of Baldock.

The story goes that he would hide his stolen treasures in a nearby cave. However, one day, he was captured and, in one of his final acts, he fired a bow from Baldock to the churchyard in Weston to mark his desired burial spot. Today, you can visit his rather long grave at the village's Holy Trinity Church.
