This cave was once reputed to have been occupied by a drunken stocking-knitter called Nancy Camel. Nancy wrote herself into legend when sometime in the late 17th century or early 18th century, it is reputed that she made a pact with the Devil, and was carried off screaming to Hell during a storm that nearly destroyed the parish church.
