Hope you find this interesting. E. C.Pearce". Kathryn, who runs a birth and postnatal support business, said: "As we've been doing the house up, we've been leaving notes around too - so if anyone then takes down our stud walls they'll find our messages. So it was lovely to find that someone else had already done it.
"We took the surround off initially and then realised that we needed to actually dig out the fireplace a bit more. So a few days later we started taking the actual bricks out. "I gave it to my other half to read, and he read it out loud. That's when we realised what it was. I was glad I'd bothered to unfold it - otherwise I'd have just thrown it away like the rest of the rubble.
