Family uncovers 17th-century receipt during East Cork house renovation

Householder Aimee O'Connor with receipt found in glass case

A family renovating a house in East Cork have discovered a 17th century receipt signed by one of history's more colourful figures, tucked away in the attic.

The receipt, for over £680, was signed by Valentine Greatrakes, a self-defined healer whose claims divided public opinion across Ireland and England in the 1660s.
