A church that survived 1798 by looking like a farm shed, a prehistoric carved stone doing quiet duty as a gatepost, a school built on a banking dynasty's charity in 1810, a roadside bush tied to a killing and a ghostly coach, and a Bronze Age burial turned up by an ordinary day's ploughing in 1984.
