Turning the Stone
About
At 8pm on 5th November each year, while the rest of the country is burning an effigy of Guy Fawkes, Shebbear has its own
unique celebration. The one tonne lump of rock known as the Devil's Stone (or Devil's Boulder) which lies on the village green
is turned over by the village bell-ringers. The stone is a glacial erratic- not from a local rock formation. According to local
tradition the stone needs to be turned over every year or a disaster will fall on the village. (Supposedly the Devil is imprisoned
beneath it.) After the stone has been turned the celebrations continue in the nearby Devil's Stone Inn.
