Bryan Thurlow – Borley Rectory

Join us at the Feoffees Hall, Littleport for our free talk from Bryan Thurlow on one of the most notoriously haunted houses in the UK – Borley Rectory.

Following a visit from a professional ghost hunter in 1929, a national newspaper declared in a bold headline – ‘Borley Rectory, the most haunted house in England’. This brought a great deal of disruption to the quiet little north Essex village. To discover why the rectory was considered haunted Bryan will take us back to the 19th Century and tell us about two successive rectors, the latter one, together with his sisters, were rather obsessed with spiritualism and claimed to have seen the ghost of a nun on several occasions.

You will get to meet the Reverend Smith who moved into the rectory in 1928, his wife, Mabel, and Mr. Harry Price who was invited to investigate all the strange goings on at the rectory.

As ever, free tea/coffee will be served in the interval, our prize draw and bookstall will be available. The venue has toilets for all and step-free access.
