THE ST. NEOT STONE. 21 



probable that these three stones are of the same age, and may 

 they not have been designed and worked by the same craftsman ? 

 There is a legend, that "little" S. Neot being very diminutive 

 in stature, was unable to reach sufficiently high to unlock the 

 church door. He therefore used this stone-cross to stand on, 

 and then throwing the key towards the door, it would unlock 

 the door, and thus enable the saint to enter the church for his 

 devotions.
