THE ghost of 60-year-old Lady Blanche Arundell is said to still haunt the destroyed castle where she and 25 servants valiantly led a doomed Royalist resistance for nearly a month. The hexagonal shaped castle built in 1393 for John the Fifth Lord Lovel was besieged for 25 days by Cromwell's Roundhead troops in the 17th Century war. When she was eventually overwhelmed by the might of 1,000 soldiers, Lady Arundell was imprisoned for war crimes and later executed. Her ghost wanders from the castle's ruins towards the nearby lake at twilight. |
