Church tower, Towednack

Tucked away in the quaint village of Towednack, Cornwall, lies the humble St. Towednack Church, home to a most intriguing legend. The church tower, though short and stout, has a tale to tell of a mischievous entity known as Old Nick, or the Stone Thief. According to local lore, the tower's truncated height is a direct result of Old Nick's nocturnal visits during construction. Each night, the pesky spirit would appear, knocking down the day's work, forcing the builders to start anew. Eventually, the workers grew tired of this game of cat and mouse, and the roof was placed at its current height, effectively thwarting Old Nick's antics.
