Children of Tiny Tim’s Tearoom, Canterbury
Within the walls of the attic were the mummified bodies of three children, all clutching bibles inscribed with the date 1503. Alongside these were mummified cats and dogs, thought to have been placed earlier than the children to ward off evil spirits during the construction of the property.
There is evidence of a Roman Townhouse on the site now occupied by Tiny Tim’s Tearoom in Canterbury. It was developed by a notorious pirate, Sir Geoffrey Newman, who escaped execution and torture in Bilbao and sought property in Canterbury for his family of 12 children. In 1964 the building became a Chinese restaurant, but a suspicious fire destroyed much of the building. It was during the succeeding renovations that the eerie history of the building emerged.

Within the walls of the attic were the mummified bodies of three children, all clutching bibles inscribed with the date 1503. Alongside these were mummified cats and dogs, thought to have been placed earlier than the children to ward off evil spirits during the construction of the property. Behind panels in the wall, 186 further bundles containing hair, teeth and the names of additional 16th century children were discovered. Workers removing the remains, reported hearing the sound of children playing up and down the stairs, of chills, sounds, whispers and many other unexplainable occurrences.
