Madgy Figgy's Chair

It sits atop a tower of granite blocks, known as the Chair Ladder at Gwennap Head near St Levan in Cornwall.

[2] Madgy Figgy was supposed to sit in the chair to conjure up storms to wreck ships so they could be plundered.

[3] Stories about Figgy include the cursed treasure from the body of a Portuguese woman washed ashore from a wreck.

Figgy caused the pig to go out of control while Tom was taking it to market and it got stuck in a small space under Tregenebris bridge.

[4] A children's book version of Madgy Figgy's Pig was written by Will Coleman and illustrated by Jago in 2005 (ISBN 0954965701).
