Manor Lodge: a ghostly walk back in time

Manor Lodge

Manor Lodge: spooky goings on
It might be unfair to call Nottinghamshire a county full of spooks - but visit North Nottinghamshire's Manor Lodge and you might change your mind.

The Lodge was designed by Robert Smythson - the architect behind many Elizabethan and Jacobean houses including Wollaton Hall and Hardwick Hall.

It was given permission to be built by Henry VIII in the late 16th century.

In its history it has had several famous visitors including Mary Queen of Scots.

She stayed at the lodge, not as a guest, but as a prisoner under the orders of Queen Elizabeth I.

The historic pub is rumoured to be riddled with ghosts.

Legend has it that an unfaithful woman was beheaded by her furious husband in the corner of the pub.

Since then there have been many sightings of the woman's ghost walking past the pub window.

The pub's manageress, Diane Eadie, has seen several of the legendary ghosts, and felt cold drafts washing past her - s
he has even been woken up by a lady crying her heart out for a full five minutes.

Despite the hauntings she is not frightened - she says the ghosts seem quite friendly!

So whoever greets you, you're assured of warm welcome at Manor Lodge.
