 The barn was stripped for souvenirs, down to the planks being removed from the sides, broken up, and sold as toothpicks.It was slated to be demolished after the trial, but it was left standing and eventually burned down in 1842.Even Maria's gravestone in the churchyard of St Mary's, Polstead was eventually chipped away to nothing by souvenir hunters; only a sign on the shed now marks the approximate place where it stood, although her name is given to Marten's Lane in the village.
