More about this scene

Our visit to Stapleford concludes with an oddity: the Hemlock Stone. This wind-eroded sandstone outcrop, about 30 feet high, is situated on the eastern edge of Stapleford Hill, just off the A6002 Coventry Lane. Needless to say, it has accumulated legends, including one that the Devil threw it at the now almost completely demolished Lenton Priory.
