Troy House
Troy House
The house known locally as Troy House (pictured left courtesy of Philip Halling), which is located down by the river near to the old A40, is said to be haunted by the sounds of a ghostly coach and horses.
Apparently, visitors to the house in the early 19th century reported hearing the sounds of whispered conversations in empty rooms.
The original house belonged to Blanche Herbert, Lady Troy, of the Herbert family of Raglan Castle, who owned great estates in South Wales as Marquesses of Worcester and later Dukes of Beaufort.
His father, Henry Somerset, 1st Duke of Beaufort, constructed the present structure from 1681 to 1684 as a wedding present for Charles Somerset. Troy House is a Grade II* listed building.

The Common
Footsteps have been heard walking along the road between Mitchel Troy and the Common (pictured left courtesy of Jonathan Billinger), leaving walkers totally bemused as they pass them by at night without a sign of human origin.
