Long Lankin is a legend from Northumberland in northern England. Either a stonemason or a famous robber and desperado, Lankin resided at Nafferton Castle. Involved in a dispute with Lord Wearie of nearby Welton Hall, this reached a bloody conclusion when Lankin, with the cooperation of Lord Wearie's grandchild's nurse, entered Welton Hall and killed the grandchild and Wearie's daughter. Lankin and the nurse escaped. rather than be captured, Lankin hanged himself from an oak tree near Whittle Dene near the present reservoirs under Harlow Hill. The nurse was burnt at the stake by Lord Wearie's men. These places can be found around the Military Road road between Newcastle and Hexham. Welton Hall has been converted in a farmhouse. The lady's ghost is said to walk Welton Hall. The oak tree is said to carry the outline of a hanged man. I live about five miles away and have walked the area many times and never seen any ghosts except for the many Roman soldiers who patrol Hadrian's Wall which runs very close by
@@peeweelongway3760 I just really fell in-love with Steeleye Span and heard almost all their songs. Found them by searching something about David Bowie.
Gotta love Steeleye Span and Maddie's voice. I was way off with the lyrics though, thanks for that lol.
