One O'clock Crossing

A local story goes that there was once a very devoted labourer on a local farm, who on his master's death was bequeathed a pocket watch. Although unable to tell the time, he cherished the watch and if asked the time he would study the watch and then announce "One O'clock Sir", no matter whether it was morning, noon, or night. Consequently the labourer was known to live at One O'clock Farm.
