Reported Ghosts

For many years, visitors to the old manor have spoken of feeling their faces burning after entering the room once occupied by the hapless maid who perished in a terrible fire. No alterations have been made to the Victorian-era attic, where the haunted hall’s most infamous spirit dwells. Tales of dragging sounds, locks slamming, and an eerie sensation of hair being pulled have been circulating amongst visitors, with the entire area soaked in an unsettling atmosphere.

Venue History

Welcome to the historic Gresley Hall, the former site of Gresley Priory! Established in 1135. Gresley Hall was first constructed in 1556. Remains of the original timber hall remain in the form of stone foundations, chimneys, and the West Wing.

In the 18th Century, Sir Nigel Bowyer Gresley founded a china factory on the hall premises. Though unsuccessful, it was used to produce earthenware products in 1805, eventually being converted into a farmhouse rented by multiple families in 1895.

Even with changing surroundings, the hall has stayed intact. On the highest attics, original 19th Century Victorian graffiti can still be seen on the limestone walls. Limestone is known to be a powerful conductor of spiritual energy, which could explain why Gresley is haunted!

In 1953, the hall was bought by the Coal Board and was transformed into a Miners Welfare Club, which opened in 1964. Come experience the rich history and mysterious air of Gresley Hall.
