The witches' cottage
The Scottish housewife who has inherited the bulk of the £25,000 fortune of the Isle of Man’s self-confessed “white witch,” Dr. Gerald Brosseau Gardner, arrived in the Isle of Man yesterday.
Eighty-year-old Dr. Gardner who died last month, left most of his estate and all his magical instruments and books - including a broomstick - to Mrs. Monique Marie Mauricette Wilson, of Nimmo Avenue, Perth.
Mrs. Wilson was moving into the “witches’ cottage” in Malew Street, Castletown, which will be home for her, her husband Campbell and seven-year-old daughter Yvette.
