We used to be famous for burning witches.
Then the Bull Stone got blown up.
We had a big cat roaming loose.
The Scottish Liberation Army blew a hydro building up.
The Venture Scouts changed our "Welcome to Crook of Devon" sign by adding "Twinned with thief of Baghdad" - that one made it into Readers Digest!

And we have a famous (!!) folk singer and two TV presenters living in adjoining villages.
