FACTS

All information is from "Ghosts and Legends of Nottinghamshire" by David Haslam, published by Countryside Books.

There were two Sir John Byrons who occupied Newstead Abbey. The second, who lived there in the middle of the 17th century, was known as 聭Little Sir John with the Great Beard聮.

By a strange quirk of fate this Little Sir John died on the very same day as his wife, just a few hours later.

The gardener denied all knowledge of any work being done and told the Colonel that all the gardening equipment was safely locked away for the night.

When they went into the grounds to investigate what might have happened they spotted the gigantic roller, which took two men to haul it around, had mysteriously been moved to the other side of the grounds and padlocked to a gatepost.

The Cavalier
There have been several reports of smoke or mist issuing from floors in the house, sometimes in a column, sometimes filling a room.

At one time a member of the Newstead staff saw what appeared to be smoke billowing out from a door just along the corridor from where the scent of the Rose Lady is smelt. Thinking the room was on fire, she went in and found 聳 nothing!

In the room facing the doorway was a large mirror 聳 and in that mirror was seen the reflection of a Cavalier, with his sword and feathered hat.

The Ghost Tours with staff in costume had not been introduced at that stage and there were no Cavalier outfits in the house.
