Halloween Ghosts Of Strelley Hall 26th Oct 2024

Earliest Saxon times

A few hundred metres South of Strelley Hall there is a sharp bend in Main Street. This is known now as Motts Corner. Near the corner are the remains of some Motts which is an old word meaning moat.

​

It is believed that there was a Saxon building within the Motts which would probably have been on stilts and made of wood. The building itself seems to have completely disappeared.

​

Tudor times

Most of the original Strelley Hall fell down and was not repaired during Tudor times. There is little record of what happened during this time.

​

During the archaeological dig in 2006/7 it became apparent from the layers of waste that there was probably a major fire at the end of the medieval period.

​

Strelley Hall changes hands in 1678

Nicholas Strelley was the owner of Strelley at this time but he gambled it away and eventually the Hall and estates passed to Ralph Edge, a lawyer.

There is a family tree kept near to the Castle Room which shows the generations of Strelleys from the time when they took the estate around 1200 through the period when they lost the estates in 1678 to the present day.

From Poltergiest activity to a dark shadowy man who is said to be seen wandering through the rooms.
