In this final festive fling, Karl Beattie and Stuart Torevell investigate Bishton Hall, a property that stands on the site where it's believed a structure has stood for over 900 years. The creepy building we see today dates back to approximately 1750. In its time it has had some very notable families living there including three former high sheriffs of Staffordshire - John Sneyd, Cecil Stafford-Northcote and John Sparrow, a lawyer and magistrate who purchased Bishton Hall in around 1776. It was John Sparrow's daughter, Charlotte, who made the greatest impact on the house and the community. In the 1820s, shortly after her father's death charlotte devoted her life to improving and renovating the mansion, adding both the east and west wings. So devoted was she to Bishton Hall that she never married in order to keep the house in the family name and not have it passed to her husband's family name, as was the order of things in those days. But it was her service to the local community that is still remembered today. Charlotte believed that all children regardless of wealth, deserved an education. So she opened a school undertaking the full cost herself. In honour of her work, every year the pupils of a local primary school hold a celebration in her name on her birthday. In 1954, St. Bede's School was opened at Biston Hall by the Stafford-Northcote and ran for over 60 years, until its closure in 2018. The mansion is now owned and maintained by Hansons Auctioneers, who purchased the property in 2019 and for the first time in the building's history, opened it to the public making sure that this magnificent house keeps its place in the community's heart. It seems that Bishton Hall's history has made such an impact on the building that the spirits of many who have lived, died or visited still remain and like to make their presence known. Poltergeist activity is rife, doors open and shut on their own, children's laughing and footsteps are heard, unexplained loud bangs witnessed across the whole building, dark shadows walk the seamlessly endless corridors and winding staircases, grey mists mysteriously appear, the feeling of foreboding is experienced in different rooms, and the figure of a lady in white believed to be that of Charlotte Sparrow manifests all over the mansion.
