Ghosts of Sulgrave Manor


With so much history, it is not surprising that Sulgrave Manor is home to many spirits. A dominant and petrifying spirit is known to roam the cellars, making many guests run blindly away from them.

The spirits of three young girls are thought to walk around the attic area and the presence of a military man has also been reported in the cellar. Many visitors during the day, let alone the night, have said they have felt as though they are being watched by unseen eyes along the stairwells and corridors.

History of Sulgrave Manor


Sulgrave Manor is a Grade I listed Tudor and Georgian house which was built in 1539 by Tudor Wool Merchant Lawrence Washing, who is the 5th times great grandfather of George Washington, the future first President of the United States. The history of the grounds started long before, when a priory once stood on the site.

During the dissolution of the monasteries bought in by Henry VIII to close down and confiscate the lands and wealth of all monasteries, the priory was surrendered to the Crown. Lawrence Washington then purchased the property from King Henry VIII in 1539.
 
Lawrence Washington lived in the house with his wife and 11 children and it was then passed onto another generation of the Washington family but unfortunately, after two generations, the property was sold out of the family in 1659.
 
During the 18th Century, a considerable number of alterations were made and during the 19th Century, the manor was occupied and inhabited by farmers.
 
Sulgrave Manor was then rescued in 1914 by the Anglo-American Peace Centenary Committee when it was near ruins and later opening to the public in 1921 after the first World War ended. Sulgrave manor as we know it today is looked after by the Sulgrave Manor Trust who have brought the manor to life and recreated its fascinating history.
