Also known as the Banbury Stone, there is conjecture about the exact origin of the Elephant Stone. Some believe it to be an ancient focus for the dark arts, others say it was a type of amber stone dedicated to the sun by druids. There's also a superstition that if you kiss the stone on Good Friday you will be cursed with bad luck.
