As recorded in 1937 the legend is that one day the Devil, in disguise, had visited Mother Ludlam and asked to borrow the cauldron she used for mixing her potions. Recognising the Devil from his hoof-prints in the sand, she refused, so the Devil stole the cauldron, with the witch in pursuit. Making great leaps, the Devil created a series of hills where he touched the ground, these now being the sandstone hills near Churt, known as the Devil's Jumps. The Devil dropped the cauldron - or kettle - on the last of these hills, Kettle Bury, or Kettlebury Hill. Mother Ludlam recovered the cauldron and placed it in Frensham Church, where it would be safe from the Devil.
