The Ghost of Chesford Bridge
Chesford Bridge, Kenilworth
Chesford Bridge, a seemingly innocuous crossing point, has a dark history that refuses to stay buried. It's said that the ghost of Ann Hawtrey, a woman hanged for murder in the eighteenth century, haunts this very spot. According to local legend, Ann was accused of killing her mistress and met a grisly end at the hangman's noose. Her spirit, however, didn't rest. Instead, it took up residence near the scene of the crime, doomed to relive the tragedy for eternity.
