 The house was finished by Thomas Hoghton in 1565, and is an ancient fortified manor house which as played host to many distinguished guests including James I, George V and Queen Mary, it is also thought that William Shakespeare once stayed there.
Since the Norman Conquest it has been the home of the Hoghton family, and it remains so to this day. Now the family live in part of the Tower while the rest can be visited by the public. It is said to be home for some spirits including a female dressed in green who is seen walking around the building and sometimes the sound of quiet laughter can be heard. |
