Update on Cliftonville witch bottle

Written By Andy Ward

A quick update from our curator on the Witch Bottle which was taken to Canterbury Christ Church University and X-Rayed.

The interest in the witch bottle has really started to gather pace! We had @kmtvkent come to visit us to film Andy discussing the witch bottle and the research which is being carried out on it.

It is hoped to take up one of the many offers we've had to further scan with bottle, ideally using a Cone Beam CT scanner to allow us to peal back the layers.

You can read more on the bottle in an article from The Isle of Thanet News - https://theisleofthanetnews.com/.../cliftonville-witch.../
