Renovation work uncovered some surprising artefacts and mysteries.
A very old, straw-filled shoe, possibly medieval, and placed under the floorboards to ward off witches
A plaster fragment with stencil work (possibly a Tudor wall-painting) found in a section of the ground floor wall
A comb and pipe found under the attic floorboards
A newspaper cutting from 1910 found in a workman’s lunchbox
