We have one spooky tale for you this Halloween...

We bet you didn't know that The Bluebell is host to a resident ghost, Henrietta.

During the English Civil War the Bluebell was used by Loyalist forces and their families as lodgings, and the cellars to stockpile grain and other provisions, keeping them safe from bombardment. So it was on September 12th 1645 that a cavalier rode off to fight in the battle of Rowton Moor, but not before bidding farewell to his wife, or maybe lover, Henrietta, with a promise to return by 10pm that night.

From the upstairs window she would have watched him and others mobilise for battle, and from this window, she would almost certainly have watched events unfold. The Royalists were soundly beaten in the field, and when it became clear that he had been killed, she rushed from the window to the cellar and took her own life.

It is said that Henrietta’s ghost still climbs the cellar steps to this day and walks through the upstairs restaurant to the window where in life she awaited his return. I have met one person who claims to have seen the ghost and many others that have spoken of strange sightings and eerie sounds late at night. Personally we would love to meet her… after all she owes nearly 400 years worth of rent!

Are you heading down today to see if today is the day Henrietta makes her appearance?
