Pulham St. Mary:

 

Golden Cradle Moat

 

In the little hamlet of North Green in this parish is a circular medieval moat, that may be the site of a vanished manor (TM229886). There seems to be no surviving tale, but its local name of 'Golden Cradle Moat' strongly suggests that there may once have been a similar legend of a golden cradle being buried here, to that at East Harling and Sculthorpe.
