Whilst research for another article I came across some old notes and a newspaper cutting dated 1st October 1975. The notes and cutting refer to ghostly activity at one of Nottingham’s premier tourist spots, Wollaton Hall. The Hall is a grand Elizabethan Mansion designed by Robert Smythson to be the home of Sir Francis Willoughby. Building work on the prominent hill-top site began in 1580 and took 8 years to complete. After the death of Michael Guy Percival Willoughby, 11th Baron Middleton, the Hall passed into the hands of Nottingham Corporation (City Council) and is now Nottingham’s Natural History Museum.
