Rushbrooke Hall

Rushbrooke Hall was once described as “a splendid moated mansion, forms three sides of a quadrangle, is partly of the time of King John, partly of that of Elizabeth, contains a drawing-room in which Elizabeth held courts in 1578, includes an old chapel now used as a billiard-room, and stands in an extensive and well-wooded park”. Sadly, it was ravaged by fire in the 1950’s and demolished in 1961, becoming another of England’s lost houses. A White Lady, suggested as being Agnes de Rushbrooke seeking revenge or being full of remorse, reputedly haunted it.
