WESTON Weston is a village in North Hertfordshire, located around 4 miles north of Stevenage, 2.5 miles south of Baldock and the same distance south-east of Letchworth, although the post town is Hitchin.

The A1(M) motorway passes to the west and theA505 Baldock bypass to the north, in a cut-and-cover tunnel that passes through the Weston Hills. These hills were made famous by the Robin Hood-style character Jack o'Legs, who was allegedly buried in the village's church graveyard.

The legend of Jack o'Legs is explained on a signpost in the village green and tells that a Jack o'Legs was an abnormally tall man who stole from shops in the nearby town of Baldock.

He took his lootings and hid them in a cave somewhere around Weston Hills. After he was captured and severely wounded by the shopkeepers of Baldock he shot an arrow from there 3 miles into the churchyard at Weston to show where he wished to be buried.

In the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church, Weston,[1] there is a grave for Jack o'Legs, which is unusually long, possibly placed there to fuel belief in the legend.
