The story goes that a quarry worker was killed when working in this location. His friend was so distraught that he carved a likeness to him in to the stone.
The quarry also has a Pendle Witch connection. This is the location that Demdike's familiar, Tibbs, first appeared to her.
In reality it is a gorgeous place to be. There are extensive views out over the Pendle Valley, down through Accrington, Blackburn and beyond.
What a beautiful tribute from the friend. And one that has lasted for other generations to interpret what they will (I saw Santa, how about you?)
