Note 12 — LEGENDS OF PARISHES, ETC. (continued 2)
Reading edition
In the parish of St. Dennis the church is dedicated to that saint. And when St. Dennis had his head cut off at Paris, blood, a legend says, fell on the stones of this churchyard; a similar occurrence often afterwards foretold other calamities.12 The exact centre of the county is reputed to be a hole in a field at Probus, a neighbouring parish.
