A giant on Omberg could not bear the bell's ringing and hurled stones at the church — they lie still in the churchyard wall.

Stora Åby was a court site 1684–1727. The legend: a giant on Omberg could not bear the church bell and hurled great stones at the church; they fell short and lie still in the churchyard wall 'where they are seen to this day'. A classic giant's-throw motif, as at Heda and Rogslösa. [Church/court site documented; the giant's throw folklore.]
