The origin of today s Object of the Week is shrouded in local folklore and mystery. LOCAL legends and superstitions surround today’s Object of the Week, a natural feature to the south of Darlington evocatively named Hell’s Kettles. The ponds, beside the A167 between Darlington and Hurworth Place, are supposedly bottomless (modern science says they are 22ft deep) and it is said that on a clear day you can see the body of a farmer, eternally swirling, as punishment for blaspheming on St Barnabas’ Day (also known as June 11). Henry VIII’s inspector is said to have painted a cross on a duck and dropped it in one of the kettles. It was sucked down by the Devil and ended up swimming by Croft bridge on the nearby Tees.

TWO Weymouth cemeteries have been officially designated Living Churchyards after a recent exploration showed them to be alive with plant and wild flower species. Last week, Melcombe and Wyke cemeteries had a walkover survey and management visit from the Dorset Wildlife Trust as part of the ‘Living Churchyards’ project. Whilst not a complete species list, the walkover results showed 22 flower species in Wyke - with the most notable being hedge cranesbill. And according to Weymouth Town Council, Melcombe Cemetery, which is a Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI), was considerably richer with 36 species. These include orchids, dropwort and corky fruited water dropwort - all of which are Dorset notables.
