A new Witchcraft themed exhibition opens in Lincoln Castles' Magna Carta vault.
Interestingly, @Northlincmuseum has at least one Witch Ball on permanent display. They are fascinating and much under-studied items.

This 18th-century house is known as The Hermitage. 💚
Located in the grounds of Brocklesby Hall, it was proposed by Capability Brown.
Created from natural materials, they were designed as rustic retreats, to give the impression that a 'hermit' could have built it themselves.
