Ringstead Cemetery
The Church Gate
The ghost of Lydia Atley supposedly haunts the gate to the church (pictured above). She was a young woman who was seduced, made pregnant and later murdered in 1850. It is believed that it was her body that was discovered in a ditch in February 1864. The unsolved murder is still remembered today, but it is said her spirit still roams.
