Tomb of The Brede Giant

---

The tomb of Sir Goddard Oxenbridge in St Georges Church in Brede, East Sussex, England. Sir Goddard, a 16th Century knight, attained the nickname of 'The Brede Giant' for his alleged reputation for eating children. Legend has it that the children of Sussex gained revenge by cutting him in half with a wooden saw. The story should, no doubt be taken with many large pinches of salt.
