Lewtrenchard Manor

The ghost of former resident, Lady Margaret Baring-Gould, has been seen in "The Haunted Gallery" and other rooms. She is usually observed when some damage has been done to her former home. When she died, all the windows and doors in the house flung open by themselves and a local farmer saw her spectre soon after striding to the church. A newspaper also claims that, "She has been sighted many times over the years, even chasing away a carpenter who dared to take a peep inside her family vault in the local church and being very overprotective confronting a young girl stealing apples from the orchard, forcing her to empty her pockets. It is said she made her presence known to the most famous resident of Lewtrenchard Manor, her great-great grandson, Sabine Baring-Gould, who also loved the house so much that he, too, haunts the place." In additon to these phantoms, footsteps, laughter and a carriage coming up the drive are also experienced here.
