I have a query i hope you can help me with. We have just bought a house which backs on to farm land. In the field directly beghind us, there is a large mound. I have always been told that this is a burial mound for cavalier soldiers. Is this true? I went to Pinewoood school as a child, and we used to have weekly visits from Rev Carr, who was then at St Peters Church, and i distinctly remember him telling us about it. I have been fascinated ever since, and would love to know more. I know many people have claimed to have seen apparitions around the village, particularly in the form of cavaliers. I am very interested in the history of Caverswall and Cookshill since my nan was born in Cookshill, and was taught by the nuns in Caverswall when she was a child, and we talk about her times at school quite alot. So I have always had an interest with the place. More than anything though, I would love to know more about the mound behind my new house, and exactly what it is! I know the castle was a garrisson for cavaliers in the civil war, as i read that in the Spirit Of The Place, so does that have a connection with the mound?
