lincolnshire - Recent findings at Gainsborough Old Hall in Lincolnshire reveal a series of ancient witches' marks and rare curses, hinting at a tumultuous past for the estate.

A recent discovery at Gainsborough Old Hall in Lincolnshire has unearthed a fascinating array of ancient witches' marks and rare curses adorning the walls of the property. These marks include flowers with six petals, overlapping letter V's, and a pentagram, all believed to have been traditionally used for protection against evil forces such as demons, witches, and the evil eye.

The presence of these ritualistic protective symbols suggests a turbulent history for Gainsborough Old Hall, particularly during the ownership of the controversial William Hickman in the 18th century. According to English Heritage, Hickman was known as a ruthless businessman who asserted his ownership rights over the manor and manipulated his authority to maximize control and profits. One inscription even features Hickman's name written upside down on a wall, a practice believed to bring curses upon the named individual.

In addition to the apotropaic marks, reports of ghostly sightings within the hall have persisted, with tales of the tormented spirit of Elizabeth Burgh, the daughter of the original owner, said to wander the corridors in search of her lost love.
