Sherborne Castle


New Road, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 5NR
01935 813182

The Castle was once the home of Sir Walter Raleigh but when his influence at the Royal Court finished when Elizabeth I died, her successor, King James had him executed. His ghost is said to haunt the ground, especially near a seat that bears his name, and is said to be especially active at around the anniversary of his execution on October 29th. A ghostly child and spectral horses are also said to be the phantom incumbents here.

Update 22/8/21: Castle staffmember Maria Wingfield Digby informs me, "I am pleased to say that we have had no reported incidents of inexplicable phenomena here."
