Day in History
Marcley Hill(Herefordshire), on February 7th, 1571, at six o'clock in the
evening, “roused itself with a roar, and by seven next morning had
moved forty paces.” It kept on the move for three days, carrying with
it sheep in their cotes, hedge-rows, and trees; overthrew Kinnaston
chapel, and diverted two high roads at least 200 yards from their
former route. The entire mass thus moved consisted of twenty-six acres
of land, and the entire distance moved was 400 yards. ( Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Marcley Hill from Infoplease:
