A brief note about the area
Phantom pigs |
|
The name Cholesbury means Ceolweald’s burh and refers to a plateau-camp, locally known as The Bury (in Old English a burh was a fortification). The village’s names have included Choulsbury, Choulesbury and anciently Chelwoldesbury.
This is rather an unusual one. It is said that on moonless nights a number of phantom pigs manifests on Cholesbury Hillfort. The pigs are small and have been heard fighting and snorting.
