Curry Mallet Hall

Curry Mallet Hall was in the hands of the Mallet family for over 900 years until it was sold in the 1980`s. Amongst its many visitors, the manor house can boast William the Conqueror, King John and Henry the II.

The History of Curry Mallet Hall

The site was originally the site of a Saxon stronghold, and before that there may have been a Roman settlement there.

Gilbert Mallet, a Norman knight who fought at the battle of Hastings, built the first castle on the site in 1068. The castle was demolished at some point in the Middle Ages, and then a manor house built on the site, which was damaged during the Civil War.

Part of the manor (the Keep) dates back to the original castle and was incorporated into the house when it was rebuilt.

The Haunted History of Curry Mallet Hall

In legend three streams are said to run under the manor leading directly to the holy well at the foot of Glastonbury Tor. The courtyard is said to echo to the sound of clashing steel as though ghostly men are fighting a duel.

The most frequently reported ghost is that of a phantom lady in Elizabethan costume, she has been seen and heard on several occasions the sound of her silk clothing making a distinct sound. The Great Hall is also said to be haunted by an Elizabethan man pacing up and down. There is also a story about a cruel former owner of the house who imprisoned his wife in one of the bedrooms.

I used to visit the house inthe 1990's and often saw and was aware of one of the ghosts who I used to talk to and she would stay with me while I was doing something usually around the panelled library near the staircase. I never felt at all afraid of her and I think she used to wait for me and seek me out when I was there. I don't know who she was except that she was not very old had fair hair and wore a blue/grey dress with white. I am not normally someone who even believes in ghosts and I did not go looking for her she came to me. In fact at the beginning I did not know she even existed. So it is not only the garden of The Manor that is haunted.
