Oliver Cromwell's House

Oliver Cromwell's House

The family home of Oliver Cromwell (pictured above) has parts dating from around 1215 onwards. It is owned by the local council, and has been refurbished to show how it may have looked during Cromwell's lifetime.

 

One particular room is known as the "Haunted Room" due to the experiences of a number of witnesses. They have reported a female apparition, anomalous lights, the sounds of footsteps, cold spots, a feeling of nausea, being held by an unseen presence, and shoelaces being untied by something invisible.

St. Audrey's Well

St. Audrey’s Well lies half a mile from the city and Coxe describes it as now being “a muddy pond in a clump of elms on Barton Farm”. However, he does not state the purpose for which the waters are renowned for, so further investigation is necessary.
