Dartmoor Myths and Legends

This talk is a selection from the rich trove of Dartmoor myths and legends, including well known stories such as Childe the Hunter and Bishop Bronescombe’s Temptation, as well as several lesser known myths and legends. Most of the material was collected in the Victorian era and is drawn from several sources. I’ll tell it to you in the words of the collectors, though I’ve lightly edited it in places to avoid excessive detail, archaic words and phrases.
