SET in the medieval village of Lacock, the 13th Century Abbey is no stranger to sightings of the undead, according to local author Kathleen Wiltshire.
Her book 'Ghosts and Legends of the Wiltshire Countryside' tells several tales of ghosts in the abbey. 
It was said that two children staying at the abbey were frightened when an ugly little man walked through their room. Many years later a skeleton was found buried in the wall of that particular bedroom - the skeleton of a deformed man. The ghost of a young woman has been seen near the lake. Her identity is not known although it could be any number of fair maidens who died here, including Rosamund, the lover of Henry II. She may have met her death at the hands of Queen Eleanor (formerly Eleanor of Aquitane, Henry's older and jealous wife). |
