The Rose & Crown Hotel in Wisbech is said to be home to the spirit of a loyal former chambermaid. This diligent ghost continues her housekeeping duties from beyond the grave: guests report faint sweeping sounds, beds found impeccably made when staff swore they left them undone, and personal items in rooms occasionally re-positioned neatly. Some have sensed someone in their room, like a maid bringing fresh linens, but find no one there. A dramatic instance involved a guest waking as her door opened and a woman in an old maid’s dress peered in briefly before vanishing. Described as a young woman in a drab grey or brown long dress with a white apron and cap (typical 19th-century maid uniform), she is often seen only fleetingly or reflected indirectly. Those who have seen her face describe it as kindly but sad. Staff have given her nicknames like “Miss Rosie” or “Alice,” though her true identity isn’t known. Her presence is never menacing; many find it comforting.
