A knight came to the area and mortally wounded the man and as such staining the fields with his blood hence the name Stainfield. Armed with this story me and a couple of my friends set of on our bikes to investigate this story . The year would have been around the late 1960s Riding around the village we where very dissapointed not to find any evidence of wildmen or blood on the fields. The church was our only hope left. Entering the church we were amazed to see a the top half and pointed faced helmet of a suit of armour looking about the size to fit a teenage boy hanging from the ceiling. Also around the walls were flags and standards in different states of wear. By know our minds were working on overtime of matching the story to our finds within the church. Thanks for your site for bringing back great memories of my childhood Hi Rod
