Wilden Manor Farm
Wilden Manor Farm is said to be haunted, although the author Coxe fails to indicate the nature of the phenomena. However, he does state that when he was last there (circa 1970’s), he heard that the farmer wanted to build a bungalow in it’s place but there was no reason given as to why.
