This is the case for the Witch's Leg, a large oak tree standing in the middle of the ruins of St Mary's church hidden within the forest. According to legend, it is a defiant remnant of an alleged witch buried there during the witch trials in England. But the oak may not be the only remnant of the departed...

    All Rights Reser It's Olympics time again, and this time there's been quite a scene at the Seine. Which reminded us of a story we have been meaning to tell for a long time, that of L'Inconnue de la Seine (The Unknown Woman of the Seine). Even though her body allegedly washed up on the shores of the Seine more than 100 years ago, you'd almost certainly recognise her. You've probably even kissed her. You might even have called her by her current name- Resusi Anne. And if you haven't already, it's probably time to put a name to that face. Or at the very least, a story.
