Ghosts of Bishton Hall

The main sighting seems to be that of Charlotte Sparrow, a spinster who inherited the house from her father along with the many sinister and daunting stories attached to this haunting mansion. The spirit of a lady has been seen here on so many occasions it is difficult to discount her presence.

The servant’s kitchen is a particularly active area as is the Temple and the old school that are situated in the stable block. Dark mists and shadows are often seen in and around the school needless to say many people refuse to go in there alone.

History of Bishton Hall

Bishton Hall dates to the 1750's and is a Grade II listed mansion however, there has been a building on this site since around 1086 which is mentioned in the Domesday Book along with Bishton itself, with so much history engrained in its foundations it is no surprise that it is renowned for its daunting past and dark reputation.

A handful of important families have lived at the hall through the centuries. Among them are three former High Sheriffs of Staffordshire – John Sneyd, Cecil Stafford Northcote and John Sparrow. The latter was a lawyer and magistrate who purchased Bishton around 1776.

One of the most famous of its residents was John Sparrow’s daughter, Charlotte Sparrow who not only lived at the mansion but purposely never married so that Bishton Hall could stay in the Sparrow family line.

In 1946 the Stafford-Northcote’s opened St Bede’s school at Bishton Hall. It remained open as a school until 2018 Though its school days are over, antiques continue to grace Bishton’s rooms following the purchase of the property by Hansons Auctioneers in 2019.
