Full Description
Petts Farmhouse was dismantled and rebuilt at the Museum of Kent Life.
A clay pipe, a bone handled knife, a shoe and a wooden doll were found in the walls and floors of the farmhouse during dismantling. The doll appeared suddenly on the floor. Limbless, with shorn hair and a scarf circling her neck, her mutilated body is believed to have been hidden in the plaster near the front door. The shoe is over 150 years old and was found hidden under the floorboards. The shoe has been replaced, along with a modern time capsule.
