Episode 54: Gainsborough Hall

Don’t Scare Claire

Gainsborough Old Hall has seen centuries of history, initially being the family home of the Burghs and then the Hickmans, before going on to be a hub for the community.

It’s now a museum, where you can walk around one of the UK’s best-preserved timber-framed late-medieval manor houses, from the stately Great Hall to the almost untouched medieval kitchens.

But you might also come across some characters from the Old Hall who have long since passed away…

My whole aim for this channel is to educate and entertain you lovely people, using accurate factual information and personal experiences to the best of my knowledge. I spend hours and hours on the research for each one of my videos, using sources that I like to think are trustworthy. But let’s face it, no one’s perfect, and when you’re dealing with anything in history, especially the paranormal, mistakes will happen. If you’re interested, I’d highly recommend you do your own research, and if I have made a mistake, please tell me about it!
