As I was driving into work this morning, I heard that we're being asked to record witch markings on Halloween.
I contacted the National Trus, externalt (NT) here in the county and asked if they'd got any pictures they could share with us.
They've sent me these images from Thorington Hall, external in Stoke-by-Nayland, which is a NT holiday let.
The first two show "evil averting marks" - deliberate candle marks on the attic ceiling that date from the 17th century, which were painted over in the 1930s before the Hall came to Trust.
