<strong>Leicestershire Ghost Hunt at the <i>fantastic</i></strong> Donington Le Heath Manor House.

The 1620s House and Garden Donington Le Heath Manor House is one of the oldest houses in Leicestershire and was built in around 1290.

The land was originally owned by William de Sees, who gave it to Charley Priory in 1204 to help the passage of his soul through purgatory.

With centuries of history and families who have considered this beautiful house their home, it is well worth a visit... but after dark, this place has a different atmosphere.

<em><b>Whose spirits live here? What was their connection to this amazing building?</b></em>

In 1536, after the dissolution of Ulverscroft Priory, which then owned the Manor House, Henry VIII sold the Manor House to the Digby family.

Is it Sir John Digby? Once owned this house, he fought for Henry Tudor against King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth which took place just a few miles down the road.

<strong><i>Does Sir John still live here? </i></strong>

The most famous Digby family member was Sir Everard Digby, who was hung, drawn and quartered for his part in the conspiracy to kidnap Princess Elizabeth from Coombe Abbey following the intended blowing up of King James and Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot (1605).

<strong><i>Have you noticed the graffiti on the stone and timber work of the house? NO!</i></strong>

It was probably during the Digby era that the graffiti appeared.

It was designed to protect the house and its inhabitants from evil spirits. Among these apotropaic marks are deliberate taper burns on the doorways, used to stop evil spirits passing through them.

<strong><i>So, what spirits continue to live in their family home?</i></strong>

As you walk through the door, you can feel the spiritual energy step forward. Come and wander through the chillingly, empty rooms and soak up the atmosphere of this once busy house. It takes on a whole new feel when darkness falls...
