026 | This name is given to a standing stone - 7 chains south west of Roddentree. There seems to have been a stone circle as other stones are beside this one but are deeply imbedded in the earth. Many years ago The word "Cummer" was applied to the Mistress of the house, latterly the meaning chainged to "a worthless woman". There are traces of a house, near this stone which was inhabited by an old woman - many years ago. Hence the name. |
