Four runestones in the churchyard — and the church's first great bell said to lie giant-stolen in the brook nearby.

Ekeby church's present building is from the 1600s, with fittings from the 1100s and four ~1000-year-old runestones in the churchyard. The legend: under a willow in the Igelbäcken brook on Ekeby's east field lies the church's first great bell, hidden — stolen by a giant. [Church documented; the bell legend is recorded folklore.]
