Some think that
Three Legged Cross may have
been named after the gallows, which were often nicknamed the three legged
mare.

|
Verwood
has a namesake ...
... in Saskatchewan, Canada. It appears now to be mainly a Ghost
Town with few families remaining. It has many old buildings included houses,
church, grain elevator and an old wooden pavement.
