A TRIP into the loft to check the roof for winter gave Chatbum resident Mr Eric Lord a surprise wor­ thy of Hallowe’en. For there, peering at him in the torchlight, was


the eery life-sized face of a man carved on the wall. Eric jumped back in shock and nearly fell down


the trap door. But now, wits recovered, the Lords are intrigued and turn to readers of the "Clitheroe Advertiser and Times” to help solve an ancient


mystery. Their home forms the end of a row of stone cot­


tages in Beech Grove which, it is thought, date back to the 17th century. In an area associated with witchcraft, it is believed the face might have been carved by the deeply superstitious farming community of the time to ward off evil spirits. The face, positioned at the gable end, is coated

weird expression. It could be unique, as no other home in the row


appears to have one. Eric, a 57-year-old marketing director, has precious little information to go on. But whatever the outcome, the Lords have no inten­


tion of disturbing their mystery man in the loft. They will only worry if things start to go bump in the night. And in the meantime he is fast becoming a family friend.
