Hidden away near the source of the River Deben lies a mysterious stone steeped in centuries of folklore.
Legend has it that when the church clock strikes midnight, the Groaning Stone turns over and lets out an terrible, eerie groan. And there are two other incredible legends linked to this prehistoric remnant of the Ice Age. First, that it's history might stretch back over 2000 years to a time when Iron-Age leaders used it to elect their leaders, and secondly, that it lies close to the site of a missing Medieval church that was mysteriously swallowed by the earth whilst full of parishoners. Perfect for Halloween we thought. So we hit the fields to find signs of Celtic tribes and forgotten Anglo Saxon communities.
