Jingling Lane in Kirkby, Lonsdale, England got its name because when you walk there, every step produces the sound of a jingling bell. Sir John Fenwick was sentenced to death for conspiring to assassinate King William III of England. He was avenged five years after his beheading. The doomed man had thrown himself upon the king's mercy, but the king refused to intervene. Before he was executed, Fenwick asked that his favorite horse, Sorrel, be given to the king. Nearly five years later, while the monarch was riding, Sorrel stumbled and threw the rider. The king sustained a broken neck and died. Believe It or Not!
