According to local lore, the Woodman of Casewick was a hermit who lived in the woods surrounding the village during the 17th or 18th century. Described as a wild, hairy, and unkempt individual, the Woodman was said to roam the forest, dressed in a simple tunic made from animal hides or leaves. His existence was one of solitude, with some accounts suggesting he survived on berries, roots, and game.
