    I have just come back from a camping trip to Somerset and while there we visited Wookey Hole. What is the legend of the caves?

    Question #50085. Asked by mountside. (Aug 07 04 4:00 AM)


    Siskin

    		Deep in the dark caverns of Wookey Hole dwelt at one time the Witch of Wookey - and dwells there still, if the gossips are to be trusted, though she, her pots and pans and horrid "familiars," are all turned to stone. A chagrined and disappointed woman, she used her merciless arts to blight girls' lives and keep them from the joys denied to herself. But she reckoned without a certain Holy Clerk of Glastonbury! With his Good Book he exorcised the Witch, and turned her to stone; he then cleansed from all evil the dreadful cavern.
