The site of the church is older than the castle, on the site of a former priory. One of the lintels may be Anglo Saxon. The arch is one of the best examples of a Norman archway in the UK. My mum's buried in the churchyard. Her wake was held at the castle. If anyone goes to visit the castle now and sees a purple bench, that's her memorial bench at one of her favourite places to stand on breaks from work. I camped out in the castle overnight as a teenager and no ghosts were seen, not even Mary 😂. We used to be able to sneak into the castle for free when we were kids, so I spent a lot of Summers there, especially up the North tower.
+Rob Baxter Thank you! HA I know right? It was one for the ages that episode. And somehow she Yvette still has a new show coming out? Thats baffling to me!
I certainly will! This video was filmed two years ago & if anything, I've gained more passion & interest with each passing year. Thank you for watching & taking time to comment.
+myjulie60 Ha! Hardly! If it was night time then perhaps the feeling wouldve been very different here. Def worth a ghost hunt in the future! Thanks for tuning in! I appreciate it as always :)
according to ancestry. com. we have roots in Staffordshire. can you point me to a site that I can visit to find more ? ancestry wants $1200 to investigate. that ain't gonna happen. lol
That's insanity! Who would pay that? I actually have no idea, I'm simply an amateur historian & wander the world as a hobby. I'm sorry I couldnt be of anymore help. Thank you for watching :)

I remember that episode of Most Haunted. Watching Yvette try not to loose it was classic. Great vid as always.
