A single lantern casts a narrow cone of light across low oak beams and flagstone floors as a character guide leads the group into a building that still remembers Tudor footsteps. The air is cool and close; every creak feels deliberate and every shadow seems to lean toward the light. Guests move quietly through corridors where the guide threads local stories—of wartime strain, plague-era loss, and reported apparitions—into the architecture itself.
