Littledean Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Littledean Hall (grid reference SO672130) is a country house in the village of Littledean, Gloucestershire, England.
Originally a Saxon hall, it was then converted to a Norman hall, evolving into a substantial medieval manor house by the time it was eventually replaced with a Jacobean house in 1612. Littledean hall is reputedly one of the most haunted houses in england, with ghosts reportedly seen in the house and grounds. A particularly frightening place, it is said, is the blue bedroom located on the left of the upstairs hall. Two brothers supposedly killed each other in a swordfight over a lady, and a noise of a swordfight can often be heard, as well as numerous accounts of a white lady being seen.
[edit] Dean Hall Coach House and Cellar SSSI
The coach house and cellar of Dean Hall are used as breeding roosts by Greater Horseshoe Bats. Because of this, a 200 square metre section of the buildings was notified as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1988.
