Description
Thornton Abbey haunted by Thomas de Gretham, the 14th Abbot of Thornton. He was said to have been a practitioner of the black arts, a dabbler in witchcraft and a seeker after the pleasures of the flesh. His crimes were such that he was subjected to a particularly harsh punishment. Taken to a dark room in the depths of the monastery, he was bricked up alive and left to die in the subterranean, airless dungeon. Little wonder that his sinister figure has been seen around the grounds of Thornton Abbey or standing in the shadowy corners of the towering gatehouse, where it is not difficult to imagine that dark forces are hard at work.
Almost at the end of my Northern Tour now. In fact these photos were taken on the trip home.
Thank you for looking, as always any comments or suggestions welcome 8~)
