The Blands, House Gutted by fire in February 2009 and now in process of rebuilding, this house was once the home of 'Perpetual' Arthur Burrow. The multi talented and colourful Mr Burrow (1759 - 1827) earned his 'Perpetual' name from his unending quest to develop a machine capable of perpetual motion. He went as far as diverting a stream under his house and engineering a constantly moving grindstone outside the house. A blacksmith by trade he also surreptitiously mined coal from his own mine entered by a trapdoor within the house. He fathered many children and claimed to have been taught to read by an angel, after which he could quote the bible to the letter. When he died, it is said he was buried in a glass fronted coffin as he was sure he would cheat death return from the grave.His grave is in the churchyard of St James the Less, Tatham (SD6069).The mine and attached catacombs are unsafe to visit but the house and gardens are worth a look.
