My English village has a strange legend. There’s a field with a small pathway running by it called High Noon Lane. Back in the 1800’s, an American cowboy arrived looking for a money lender that had stiffed him. It’s said they meet in that field at twelve PM and shot each other dead. The area was then named after that event.
As children it was believable and we would reenact the dual. As an adult, the legend stuck with me and I liked to think it was true, though there was no historical proof.

Liked it enormously. 🙂
I don’t know the real story behind the naming, though I have found other roads in Norfolk with the same name. They tend to be on the dry (higher) land between rivers.
