Cecil relocated again to the Cotswold hamlet of Bourton-on-the-Water where residence Christians subjected him to death pressure, strung dead cats up in his garden vegetation and repeatedly fire-bombed his museum. And so the fixed budge took Cecil and his museum to Boscastle in 1960 where it skeleton today.
