In 1700 Henri Misson a Frenchman visiting Britain asked villagers why they had horseshoes nailed above their doors. They said that it was to keep witches away. Horseshoes are made of iron and the strength of the iron was thought to protect from evil. Still today they are thought to bring good luck and many bridges carry silver ones at their wedding. The position of the horseshoes is very important. It must point upwards like a cup so that the luck cannot fall out.
