​A Historic Haunted Location in Derbyshire

Gresley Old Hall is not only associated with ghost stories; it also has a fascinating history. The Grade II listed building stands on Gresley Wood Road in Church Gresley, near Swadlincote, Derbyshire. Historic records indicate that the building incorporates earlier work and that Sir Christopher Alleyne acquired the former Church Gresley Priory site in the 16th century. The building is also associated with later additions dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The site has experienced many different chapters throughout its history. It was associated with a short-lived china and earthenware manufacturing venture in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and later became a farmhouse before being acquired by the National Coal Board. Parts of the site subsequently became a Miners' Welfare facility.

Today, its age, architecture and fascinating history provide the perfect backdrop for a Derbyshire ghost hunt.
