TURPIN KEEPS ON RIDING
The ghost of Dick Turpin must be one of the busiest in England!
For that matter, with the number of pubs that claim his living self as a regular, it’s a miracle he was ever able to remain upright in the saddle.
Turpin’s grandfather, Mr Mott, once kept the Rose and Crown and local tradition maintains that the highwayman would often hide at the pub to evade capture.
His ghost is said to haunt not only the pub, but also the road outside, where astride a jet black mount he gallops hell for leather through the night, no doubt en route to one of the many other pubs he must haunt before daybreak
The Rose and Crown was featured in a legendary Most Haunted Live when the shows medium, Derek Achora, apparently made contact with the spirit of Dick Turpin's grandmother, Mary, with surprising results.
