Six Things on
Britain's last witch
Britain has a long history of labelling people as witches, and has legislated accordingly to deal with them. Scotswoman Helen Duncan (1897 – 1956) is best known as the last person to be imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 when she was convicted in 1944.
The Drakelow Tunnels
Drakelow Tunnels are a former Top Secret underground military complex beneath Kingsford Country Park north of Kidderminster, Worcestershire. The complex is now open to the public and apparently haunted.
The Beauly Elm
The Beauly Elm, believed to be Europe's oldest wych elm tree, has recently died after almost 800 years guarding the entrance to Beauly Priory in Scotland.
The badger - Britain's largest predator!
With its characteristic black and white-striped face, grey fur and short furry tail, the badger looks like no other UK mammal. Stocky, powerfully-built creatures, they typically weigh 10–12kg, with a body length of about 90cm. This makes them the biggest land predator in the UK.

The pork pie is a traditional British food item, which continues to be a highly popular and convenient snack. Modern pork pies are a direct descendant of the raised meat pies of medieval cuisine.
