Annesley Old Church, Nottinghamshire

Annesley Old Church is an allegedly haunted medieval ruin in Nottinghamshire. The old church was built in 1356 by the Annesley family and was finally abandoned in 1942. Ashfield District Council bought the ruin for just £1 in 1973 and restored it to its current condition by 2012.

Lord Byron used to frequent both the church and hall in his childhood and wrote ‘The Dream’ about meeting Mary Chaworth, a resident of Annesley Hall, on the nearby Diadem Hill.

Annesley Hall is a ruined stately home in rural Nottinghamshire. In the 1400s, it passed from the Annesley family to the Chaworth family, who finally sold it in 1972. It was ravaged by a fire in 1997 and again in 2015.

Supposedly, one of the ghosts haunting the hall is Charles Musters, a member of the Chaworth Family who died of malaria while sailing with Charles Darwin.

The most commonly-seen ghost, however, is the ‘White Lady,’ a mistress of a member of the family who died in childbirth. Many more have supposedly been seen and felt, including a young girl in the stables.
