Some of our boarders walked down to Shebbear Village this evening to watch a tradition where a stone is moved to stop the devil from escaping…. #ShebbearCuriosity #ShebbearBoarding #DevilsStone

Supposedly the Devil is trapped there after a fight with God. It takes a year for the Devil to dig himself out, so it is flipped again to trap him. Photograph by my Dad ©Beaford Arts @beaford #Devon #photography #folklore #DevilsStone #Shebbear https://t.co/s7hCEoLIF5

According to local tradition the stone needs to be turned over annually or disaster will befall the village. Photograph by my Dad ©Beaford Arts @beaford #Devon #photography #folklore #DevilsStone #Shebbear https://t.co/2Afhcf2sni

Every 5th November at 8pm, in the Devon village of Shebbear, the Devil's Stone which lies in the village square is turned over by the bellringers. Photograph by my Dad ©Beaford Arts @beaford #Devon #photography #folklore #DevilsStone #Shebbear https://t.co/F6bDqFkdZO THREAD
