Ye Olde Coffin House. This unique building has a rather romantic past. The coffin shaped house is said to be built due to a dispute of old, between a father and daughter, who wished to be wed. The father was far from keen of the status of the son-in-law and informed the daughter that before they wed, he would see her in a coffin. The couple built the coffin house, and as the folk law goes lived a happy existence hence after.
