It is said that on the anniversary of his death every year (28th March), the effigy of John Coke climbs down from his tomb, and then walks around the churchyard three times before returning. It is said that he is checking to see if his brother, who stabbed John in the back over a quarrel regarding their estate, is not buried here.
