Are you brave enough to watch the GhostCam?

Ordsall Hall is famous for its resident spirits, most often spotted in the Great Hall, including the mysterious White Lady seen near the portrait and the figure of a young girl often seen on the stairs...

Ghost of Ordsall Hall

Every self-respecting Tudor manor house of distinction has a ghost - and Ordsall Hall is no exception ...

There are numerous stories and legends surrounding our ghost - The White Lady - but one thing is certain, she has been seen by many a local. Sightings generally put the old(?) girl hovering around the Great Hall and Star Chamber, sometimes climbing the stairs to the tiny room above the oriel. But who was (is) she?

Some will tell you that she is Queen Elizabeth I's favourite maid of honour, our own Margaret Radclyffe, who died in 1599 from a broken heart following the death of her brother. Others will tell you she was a bride-to-be, jilted at the altar of a once-adjacent St Cyprian's Church. This grief stricken lass is reported to have climbed the stairs in the Great Hall and thrown herself off to her death!

Then again, she could be the legendary Viviana Radclyffe, with whom the infamous Guy Fawkes fell in love with when he supposedly came to Ordsall Hall to devise the Gunpowder Plot!
