They were on a mission to hide the Holy Grail at Oak Island Nova Scotia obviously and, in search of a more secure location, traveled south to Massachusetts, up some river and thus found their way to this lovely section of country. The Westford Knight himself is a 8' X 8' chunk of flat granite about 2 inches from the right side of a small road right in the middle of Westford. The carving is obscured (by age?) and does actually resemble a knight, his tower shield and sword. [Gregory Lloyd Kinney, 01/17/2000]
