The Blacksmith's Arms
The Vicarage
The apparition of Brother Ignatius allegedly haunts the Vicarage. He failed in his duty to ring the bell as a warning of impending floodwaters that were about to engulf the monks. This resulted in the deaths of several of the brethren. It is now said that he rings a phantom bell that warns of a death in the village.
