The building is rumoured to be haunted by "The White Lady", who threw herself off the balcony overlooking the Great Hall, and is also rumoured to be haunted by a child that was drowned in a well outside the house, which is now the kitchen (after the extension of the house in the 1800s). The house is believed to be so haunted that an episode of the TV programme Most Haunted was filmed there in 2002.
