In Folklore of Oxfordshire, Christine Bloxham reports that North Leigh has been the sighting of a ghostly Roman chariot, presumably related in some way to the Roman villa at East End.

There is also a belief amongst locals in East End that if you visit the Roman villa on a certain day of the year you can hear the sound of many sandaled feet marching up and down the courtyard. This is believed to be the sound of a garrison of Roman soldiers being drilled in the courtyard at the villa.
