Garnstone Castle

John Nash designed Garnstone Castle for Samuel Peploe, but sadly it was demolished in 1958 becoming yet another of Englands’ “lost houses”. A Gazetteer of Herefordshire in the 1870's described as a modern building, with deer park and extensive ornamental grounds. A local legend recounts that their is or was a pond in the vicinity, in which lays a snuff box that contains the spirit of a farmer who committed suicide. His spirit returned in the form of a calf, but was forced into the box during an exorcism, then cast into the muddy depths forever to remain.

Church of St. Peter and St. Paul

According to Coxe in Haunted Britain, if you were to walk around the preaching cross located in the churchyard of St. Peter and St. Paul (pictured above), seven times at midnight whilst reciting the Lords Prayer backwards (obviously…) you can conjure up the Devil himself.
