OLD LONDON LEGEND.
The Church That Stands In the Field
of Forty Footsteps.

OF Forty Footsteps.
The church in Woburn square, Lon
don, is said to occupy the site of the
Field of Forty Footsteps" to which
tragic legend attaches. The story
dates from the days of Monmouth's
rebellion. According to the version
given in Mr.. J. S. Ogilvy's Relics and
Memorials of London Town." two
brothers fell in love with woman who,
either from callous vanity or fearing
repriSalS from the unsuccessful suitOr,
would not say which was to be the
favored swain, suggesting that they
should fight a duel and to the victor
she would give her charms. They
came from the town to this suburban
field. The woman calmly sat down to
await events. She had not long to
wait, judging from the number of foot
prints, when one of the brothers fell
dead, and as the victor approached
she held out her arms to greet him.
when, with sudden revulsion of feel
ing for his brothers death, he slew her
as she stood, and, turning the weapon,
he drove it through his own heart. So
they were found stiff in death with
the footprints stamped in the wet
clay, where they remained indelible
through summer heat and winter
frost; no green thing would grow,
nor any man build himself a dwelling
there. Streets We're erected all round,
but it was not until the nineteenth
century that men took heart of grace
and built a church there. when the
conservation of the ground rolled back
the curse and the memory of the leg
end grew faint and faded away.
