The Tudor House Hotel in Tewkesbury, dating back to the 16th century, is rich in history and paranormal tales. This black-and-white-timbered hotel, established around 1540, offers 25 en-suite rooms, but it is also known for its long-term spectral residents.
The most well-known ghost is the 'grey lady,' believed to be the spirit of a maid who worked at the hotel. This maid, reportedly mistreated by her mistress, is said to have taken her own life by jumping from a top-floor window. Guests and staff have reported seeing her wandering the corridors, only to vanish upon reaching a doorway. Some also mention a 'woman in white,' although it's unclear if this is another entity or the same as the grey lady.
Another frequent sighting is of a ghostly black Labrador, often seen at the top of the main staircase. This apparition adds to the eerie atmosphere of the hotel.
Additionally, the hotel is said to be haunted by the spirit of a small drummer boy, related to the bloody battles of Tewkesbury. Numerous guests have been awoken by the loud sound of a kettle drum in the night, often attributed to this young drummer's ghost.
The hotel's past as a courtroom in the town, with executions reportedly taking place just outside in the courtyard, further contributes to its haunted reputation. The combination of these various apparitions – the grey lady, the black Labrador, and the drummer boy – makes the Tudor House Hotel a significant site for those interested in the paranormal and historical hauntings.
