Cauldron

Curator Kitty Ross with the mysterious iron cauldron at the Leeds Discovery Centre. The cauldron was originally discovered in a cellar in Chapeltown in 2012 after workers came to investigate a peculiar dripping sound which the resident could not locate. Removing a wall, they discovered what appeared to be a petrified object which was later identified as a metal cauldron, sealed behind the wall in what is believed to have been part of an ancient practice designed to protect the house and its residents from malign or supernatural forces.
