| hearsay:- |
It is said that Henry VIII stayed here when courting Catherine Parr. And, it is said
that the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn wandered the hall to disturb his dreams of
Catherine. She is still said to appear from an archway under the lane beyond the farm,
where there is a bridge over a beck. |
