Editing Old Harry Rocks (section)

== Legend ==
There are various stories about the naming of the rocks. One legend says that the [[Devil]] (traditionally known euphemistically as "Old Harry") slept on the rocks. Another local legend says that the rocks were named after [[Harry Paye]], the infamous Poole [[pirate]], whose ship hid behind the rocks awaiting passing merchantmen.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/purbeck-countryside/features/old-harry---purbeck-landmark|title=Old Harry - Purbeck landmark|publisher=[[National Trust]]}}</ref>
Yet another tale has it that a ninth-century Viking raid was thwarted by a storm and that one of the drowned, Earl Harold, was turned into a pillar of chalk.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EtrsAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT44|page=44|year=2014|title=The Coastal Headlands of Mainland Britain: A practical guide and much more...|author=Fellows, Griff |publisher=eBookPartnership.com |isbn=9781783014583}}</ref>
