A mystery surrounds the Devil's Stone. Geologically it is a glacial erratic (a type rock that has been carried by glacial ice) of quartz that does not match any rock formations in the region. So how did it get to Shebbear? One theory suggests that it is the remnant of a standing stone dragged from elsewhere for ritual purposes. But local tradition says that it fell from Lucifer's pocket as he passed through the village on his way to hell after he was cast out of heaven.

Devilish Devon

Devon is not the place for Lucifer. Frequent wind and rain in Northlew (a village not far from Shebbear) gave rise to a local saying: 'The devil died of cold in Northlew.'
