The Old Rectory


The Street, All Cannings, Wiltshire SN10 3PF

A 1989 document states that, "'A ghost with the sweetest of faces' is how Elizabeth Bynge, the Grey Lady of All Cannings Rectory, has been described. She is thought to be the wife of the Rev. Robert Bynge, the royalist rector who built the house in 1646. With her three sons, all under 6 years old, she was evicted from the rectory by parliament; but, if it is Elizabeth, her ghost still lingers, passing along an upstairs corridor, visiting at least two of the bedrooms, and using the long removed spiral staircase to go, via the old kitchen, into the garden."
