This ghost story begins 100 years ago home of the Lyall family the descendents of John Thomas brooks. One of the Lyall's children was mortally ill; they were cared for in his last days by the old housekeeper Mrs. Banks, a short woman with white hair. The family decided that she was poisoning him, and dismissed the housekeeper. The patient subsequently died, and so closed a sad chapter in the history of the Lyalls.
Jim Sparkes, was a builder who had been brought in to do some repairs and modifications, he was removing some roof tiles at the front of the manor. Beneath the tiles was a wooden door which opened into a hidden room. The room seems to have been servants' quarters, possibly Mrs. Banks, the Old Housekeeper's original bedroom. Looking round the room he found an old doorway which had been bricked up and had obviously led into the upper floor of the manor.
