Mystery of the Steps at Dundry
Who undertook this major task of constructing 147 steps, giving a staircase from the lower field footpaths to the centre of the village is still a mystery. The hard pennant stone used must have been carried up the hill by horse and cart for a minimum of 3 miles. The steps would have helped labour to reach the centre of the village from the footpath below to the quarries or for a major project.
