Oulton:

 

Cromwell's men

 

A slight legend here tells that some of Oliver Cromwell's men are buried in the churchyard at St. Peter and St. Paul's (TG136285) - though why they're here, and exactly where, isn't known.

Oxborough:

 

The running stone

 

A stone here is said to run across the road when it hears the Caldecote church bells strike midnight. But of the church of St. Mary the Virgin (TF744034), near Caldecote Farm, virtually nothing now remains. 

 

 

Oxnead:

 

Secret tunnel

 

"According to local residents, a 'secret tunnel' is said to go from Oxnead Hall, Norfolk, to the parish church" (TG229240).
