I think this "legend" might have some basis in fact. As a small girl I visited my Grandmother who was hot on plugging in as much local knowledge/family history/lard sandwiches as she could to a 10 year old. Anyway, she lived in Chertsey, Surrey, UK and I remember her pointing out a particular old church and its bell tower and saying that was the one where the girl had swung on the bell all night to saver her lover. 'Cause, sometimes Grandmas like to embellish stories!

But, then again, "Mary had a little lamb" Mary is buried in our local churchyard - simpler lyrics though..
