Talk:Coffin Stone

Added by anon UK ip
''There is also a coffin stone in Waterford, Eire. It was used by the Brits during the troubles. In their infinite compassion the Brits thought they would erect a Gibbet on a hill overlooking the town so that condemned Irishmen could have their last view of the town before they were murdered. When their victims were dead the brits would lay them on the stone for their families to collect. When not put to such use and the weather was fair, the women of the town would sit on the stone and knit.''

It needs some work. adamsan 10:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * There is also a Coffin Stone near Ambleside in the Lake District. This stone is located on the Coffin Trail . This was a trail used to carry coffins. It is said that the bearers would rest, while the coffin rested on the stone. It was not unusual for coffins to be carried over long distances as many parishes did not have their own burial ground. So a coffin would have to be carried to a parish with a burial ground. There are still many of these trails, some have been formalised into paths or roads. JHvW 07:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Goldfish Muffin?
I'm sorry if this seems silly, but... "Also known as the gold fish muffin", uncited, seemingly slapped onto the end of the first paragraph. Can anyone weigh in on this? It doesn't seem... right.Remiriya (talk) 20:08, 11 March 2020 (UTC)


 * It is probably not any help, but this seems like vandalism to me. The Goldfish Muffin I know is a snack made by Graham's (a brand of Pepperidge Farm). As far as I am aware it has nothing to do with the Coffin Stone. JHvW 15:37, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
