" I am intrigued that you have Sir Goddard as giant. Giant as I know it comes from a ghost story made up by some smugglers. By the way he wasonly 5 foot 3 or 4 inches tall."

BIOGRAPHY: "THE LEGEND OF THE BREDE GIANT" - [An interesting tale from the 16th Century is of Sir Goddard Oxenbridge, a giant of a man who wassaid to eat a child every night for supper, and who could not be killedby metal, but only by wooden weapons. It is believed that this story wasspread by the smugglers in the area, to scare away the curious from BredePlace, which was one of their bases. These stories were probably notdeserved, it seems all the men so accused were Catholics during theReformation. Sussex was noted for supporting the Reformation and theParlimentarian movement, so those who clung to their faith were not toopopular. The story ends with a very drunken Sir Goddard being killed witha wooden saw at Groaning Bridge at Stubb's Lane, between the Church andBrede Place. ]
BIOGRAPHY: "Tiring, perhaps, of his usual diet of saddle of mutton, haunch of venison and roasted ox, Sir Goddard Oxenbridge, an early 18th.century occupant of Brede Park, decided one day to tickle his jadedpalate with an exquisite new sensation; that day one of the villagechildren disappeared. Apparently the new dish pleased the squire andthereafter children were reported missing from all parts of Sussex.
BIOGRAPHY: Naturally the servants at Brede Park became aware of their master's nasty eating habits and soon it was common knowledge in thelocality; but because Sir Goddard was, outwardly, a pious and God-fearingman of gentle birth, the gentry and clergy discounted the rumours as thewicked gossip of envious peasants. Thus the bereaved parents had littlechance of retribution.So it was left to the actual victims, the children,to counter the threat to their lives. Secretly, all the children ofSussex got together and made a plan. At the entrance to Brede Park theyplaced a large barrel of mead, then lay in wait for the squire.
BIOGRAPHY: Foraying out in search of his supper, Sir Goddard chanced upon the barrel and being partial to a drop of good Sussex mead, he quaffedthe lot and collapsed in a stupor in the middle of the bridge outside thepark gates . Immediately the children emerged from the shrubbery,dragging with them a huge wooden saw. The East Sussex children took oneend and the West Sussex children the other, and promptly they sawed thesquire in half. They do say, over in Brede, that the child-eating ogre'sghost, in the form of a sawn tree trunk, still haunts Brede Park and thenearby Groaning Bridge."
