A 17th-century cottage in the North York Moors that still has a 'witching post' on the fireplace has gone on the market

Witching posts were a local feature that supported the smoke-hood of inglenook fireplaces. They had carvings and were supposed to offer protection against witches using the chimney to enter the cottage.
