Kitty Jay’s Grave

July 7, 2008

The legend of Kitty Jay and the grave is well known around Devon. It is a fascinating story and there may be more elements of truth in it than people think.

Kitty Jay was so called as Kitty was a nickname given to her by a farmer’s son who admired her. Her name was thought to be Mary. Kitty fell in love with the farmer’s son and soon became pregnant after a secret affair with him. Kitty worked at the farm for slave labour and was released after becoming pregnant; she was also branded as a slut by the other residents of the farm.
Kitty had nowhere else to go, no family to turn to and no one to help her. Kitty then decided to take her life as well as that of her unborn child’s. She hanged herself in a barn nearby and was found later. As the legend goes, many people have reported seeing strange and misty figures at the grave and flowers are always at the grave, but no one knows where or from whom these flowers come from.
