Discovery
Even though it can be fascinating to find artifacts in the house that you just purchased, there are times when you find very strange things. You might even discover something historical! Pat and Diana Farla lived in a Victorian house in England. For the longest time, they wondered what was up with the weird basement grate. One night, they finally mustered the nerve to check it out.
Persecuted Catholics
They got rid of the iron grille and saw a hole that was big enough for a small child to crawl through. It turned out that there was a cellar that looked like a chapel on the other side. The couple spoke to historians about this and found out that it came from the 1700s. It must have been used as a secret church during the days when Catholics got executed and persecuted.
