A fascinating bit of history.From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-16066680
Historians are now speculating that the well-preserved cottage could have belonged to one of the Pendle witches.
The building contained a sealed room, with the bones of a cat bricked into the wall.
It is believed the cat was buried alive to protect the cottage's inhabitants from evil spirits.
