You're correct.  They are better known as the Devon Hoofprints.  tinybiggrin

But Wolverhampton was also involved the month prior :

Quote:In January 1855, near Wolverhampton, England, about 200 miles north of Devon, hoofprints were said to have appeared on vertical walls and the roofs of pubs. According to Dash, Elizabeth Brown, landlady of The Lion pub in this region, told a public meeting that “her house was mainly frequented by quarrymen and the tracks were nothing new to them. Similar hoofmarks were to be seen burnt into the rock at Pearl Quarry, on Timmins Hill.”


Quarrymen ... hmm.  Would be kind of neat to visit that Pearl Quarry and just get a sense of the area's "feel".

Lots to read about it here --> https://www.academia.edu/251735/The_Devi...ry_of_1855
