OLD CHURCH HOUSE INN

Many years ago, a man sleeping in the bar one night (the inn being full up) woke in the early hours with a feeling of 'something odd', looked around the room and saw the seated figure of a monk. As he got up to take a closer look it seemed to dissolve into the wall behind it. The following is an extract from a letter received from a rather surprised customer when staying in the Inn one night "I woke up in a hot sweat about 4 'o'clock in the morning. I believed someone was standing beside the bed next to me.....I looked again to the side of the bed where my husband was sleeping and saw a bald man walk past the side of the bed and disappear....." The monk taking another walk perhaps? Another was seen here by a new local policeman who came in one evening (presumably wide awake) to get to know the locals. Indicating one of them, he asked the Landlord who the old man was, only to be told that there was nobody there.
