Informations supplémentaires

In 1835 Edward Bligh, the 5th Earl of Darnley, attempted to demonstrate to some of his estate workers the correct way to use an axe. In the process he severed one of his toes, and died of tetanus some days later. Lady Darnley had a stone monument erected at the spot where the accident took place, surrounded by eight yew trees - this became known as the 'toe monument'. Since then the site has become overgrown and much damaged by vandalism and neglect. All that now remains are a few stones surrounded by the now considerably larger yew trees.
