The county of Norfolk has its fair share of glacial erratics: rocks deposited by the movements of ice many thousands of years ago. These stones now stand, aliens to the landscape around them, and magnets for mysterious legends and strange folklore. In this mini episode, we hear about three such boulders and their sometimes surprising stories: the great stone of Lyng (St Edmund!), the Stockton standing stone (cursed!), and the Merton stone (orgies! Armageddon!).
