Moses Carter

During his life Carter was famous locally for a number of feats of strength, the best-known today being his carrying of a large boulder from a ballast hole on Park Lane to 'Boot corner'.

In 1998, a memorial to Carter was unveiled at St Andrew's church in the village, on what was the 138th anniversary of his death.

[3] Carter remains well known in the area, and an image of him carrying his boulder features on the village sign.
