Allington Manor
Allington, Lincolnshire

OVERVIEW

The site of this 17th Century Manor dates back to 1086 with the first written record in the Domesday Book, and has been owned by many generations of wealthy families across the centuries, so it's no surprise visitors and investigators have seen ghosts here. But who exactly are these spirits that continue to stay at Allington Manor? Join us to find out. Allington Manor is EXCLUSIVE to Brookes Paranormal.

 

HISTORY

The earliest record of this site dates back to the Domesday Book (1086), but sadly nothing of that original dwelling remains, although it's believed the cellars may have been part of the original building.

The oldest section of the present-day manor dates back to 1450, and now houses the Breakfast Room and Bar, the First Floor Landing and the Cellars below. The proprietor of West Allington Manor as it was known at the time, owned a third of the village land, indicating he had wealth.

The house was passed on to many affluent yeoman farmers in the village, before coming into possession by the Grant family, who were part of the larger Danby family of Yorkshire in the 16th Century. The Grants bought Allington Manor and most of the village land by the mid-17th Century. In 1660, the Grant family built numerous extensions around the building, including the Dutch gables, the upstairs bedrooms and servants quarters, and the grand dog-leg staircase to complete the unique house that stands today.

The property passed through two more generations, before the family fell on hard times and sold the Manor for £841, to a gentleman called Reverend Thomas Williamson. For two and a half centuries, the Manor House remained with the Williamson family, and then by marriage the Welby family. However during this time, the structure fell into disrepair and was left abandoned and uninhabited. It wasn't until 1948, when the property was purchased by a Mr. Palin (no not that one) who saved the building from ruin. The task of restoring the property to its former glory was undertaken by the Vincent family in 1983, who are still the current proprietors of Allington Manor, and is now owned and lived in by their son and his family.

 

GHOSTS & HAUNTINGS

From our past investigations here at Allington Manor, the team and guests have encountered many interesting spirits.

The ghost of a self-righteous male has been sensed in the Lord's Bedroom, with us on a previous investigation witnessing him turning on and off our laser grid equipment when asking him to. Also in here is an old portrait painting of a gentleman, whose eyes follow you around the room. No one knows the name of the man in the painting, all we know is that the painting came from another estate. Could this male spirit being connected to the Manor, or is he actually connected to the painting?

In the Drawing Room, an old mantlepiece clock chimes on its own, but there is one bizarre thing...   it doesn't work.

Upstairs in the Footman's Bedroom, a dark and angst religious spirit roams the old servants' quarters, angry about his homosexuality secret being exposed to his community in his time. He has drained batteries in multiple pieces of equipment on previous investigations, tilted forward the mirror on the dresser and has even growled at guests in different groups too. He's believed to have hung himself on a certain timber beam, as guests struggle to breathe as if being choked by his presence.

A Grey Lady has also been picked up in the servants' quarters, with ghostly energies of children sensed in this area as well. Poltergeist activity has been witnessed at this location, including doors opening and closing on their own and mirrors that have suddenly tilted backwards and forwards again. Static energies are constantly felt throughout the building, and phantom footsteps and whistles have been heard and caught on camera. Are the Grant, Williamson and Welby families still living on in the afterlife here at Allington Manor?

In the Lady's Bedroom, many women who investigate this room have had to leave soon after entering because they suddenly feel sick, nauseated and dizzy. Is there a spirit here who has a dislike for women, and if so what is their reasoning for causing this unnerving phenomena?

Other poltergeist activity has been witnessed at this location, including doors opening and closing on their own by invisible forces. Static energies are constantly felt on both the ground and upper floors, and phantom whistles have been heard in the Foyer area. It's also in this area where a ghostly Black Dog has been felt moving around people's legs.

Will we encounter past members of the Grant family who loved this home? Who occupied the Manor in the 1450s? And what will we find lurking upstairs in the dark and spooky servants' quarters?
