Mummified cat found at 18th century cottage

Available for over a year

Imagine finally starting work on renovations to a property you bought three years ago, only for a builder to call you up one morning saying they've found a mummified cat. That's what happened to Michelle Keane, who fell in love with the picture-postcard perfect village of Milton Abbas in Dorset. Dried cats were often concealed in homes to protect them against evil spirits, so with Michelle's 18th century property backing onto the village's graveyard, she told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Solent's Steve Harris she's put it back where it came from.
