The Great Black Hole Spin Dryer Experiment

We've got the chapel back then.

Based on the assumption that a spinning black hole emits Hawking radiation, we just wrapped a rope round the hole a few times, tied the loose end to the back of the tractor and drove off really quick.
By stimulating the emission of Hawking radiation*, we managed to dry all the mass out of the black hole, and the chapel has been recovered!  We can now ask Stacey to give us the Man from the Council back and everything's back to normal.  Given we now have a rebuilt Moot House we now have a chapel without much use, so we are happy to offer it to the Starkadders as a replacement Wood Shed.  There is something nasty in it, but it's only Drayton Parslow, checking out the stained glass.
Now we just have to deal with all the other things that we found when the black hole dried out.  The second half of "Edwin Drood", the remains of the crew of the Marie Celeste, Lord Lucan, Shergar, the Likely Lads - we wondered whatever happened to them - and the Moody Blues' Lost Chord.  I tell you, emptying out a Black Hole is worse than digging down the back of the couch.

* We do these experiments so you don't have to.  Our Beaker People are specially trained and expendable.  Please don't try spinning black holes at unusual speeds at home.  Or, at least, not without a strong rope and a tractor.
