How do I edit this?
It's possible it's changed hands I suppose, but the Facebook page you shared still links through to the website under the centre's previous name www.arthurfindlaycentre.org where the first line of the 'About' page is "Arthur Findlay Centre in Stafford provides an exciting opportunity for the Spiritualists' National Union to establish a permanent base in the Midlands".
But, whatever, I have precisely zero interest in Spiritualism & don't really feel this is a point worth arguing. The 'Stafford Spiritualist Church' sign could point at a unicorn sanctuary for all I care...

April 1 2010 retailer Think Geek announced the sale of canned unicorn meat, the new white meat. The idea proved popular and the company later sold the product "for real". Customers received a stuffed unicorn toy inside a can. Except for customers in Germany. German customs officials apparently believed unicorns were real and the import of unicorn meat breached CITES regulations banning trade in endangered species. https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e5a7/
Two years later the British Museum announced the discovery of a long lost medieval cookbook with a recipe for cooking a unicorn, including a marinade and griddle roasting. http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk...rn-cookbook-found-at-the-british-library.html
Thanks to this April's edition of Fortean Times for the stories in an article on April Fool Hoaxes.

My great great grandfather was hung for unicorn stealing. They used to stampede the unicorns through the King's unicorn forests at night until due to the unicorn's inate stupidity linked to poor night vision one of them would inevitably impale his horn on a tree trunk enabling an easy capture.
Occasionally the rustlers would just take a hind leg knowing that the beast would have grown a new one within a few months. Occasionally, due to a rare genetic disorder a whole new unicorn would grow instead.
