Title
Shooting Butts and Churn Milk Joan on Midgley Moor - DBC00112
Description
Also known as Churn Milk Peg and Savile's Low, this stone is located on Midgley Moor. It is a 6' 9" high stone pillar - probably originally placed as a boundary marker. The stone is claimed to spin round three times on New Year's Eve. It is said to be named after a milk-maid who died whilst carrying milk to the villages nearby. There is a legend that a penny placed on the stone will bring good luck, no doubt to the person that finds it!
