Pity poor Bradford

A Ghost Story!

In December of 1642, the Royalist army gathered in Bradford, under the command of the Earl of Newcastle.
The Earl stayed with Sir Richard Tempest at Bolling Hall.
The Earl was angry, that despite having no defences, or army, Bradford had not yet fallen.
That night he retired to bed, vowing that come morning, he would kill every man, woman and child.
During the night he was woken by the sensation of his bedclothes being pulled from him.
At the side of his bed stood the ghostly figure of a woman, wringing her hands and sobbing, Pity Poor Bradford.
The Earl was shaken by what he had seen.
The next day the Earl attacked Bradford, but only 10 deaths were recorded.

Over the years there have been countless reports from staff and guests of paranormal goings on at Bolling hall.
