A unique survival in Londons EastEnd, Sutton House was built in 1535 by Sir Ralph Sadlier, a rising star at the court of Henry VIII. It became home to successive merchants, Huguenot silkweavers, Victorian schoolmistresses and Edwardian Clergy and although altered over the years, remains an essentially Tudor house. Ghosts reputed to haunt Sutton House come from the time of the Machell family (late 16th/early 17th century) and include wailing dogs and a White Lady (thought to be Francis who died in childbirth in 1574). The House Steward once saw the ghost of a Blue Lady as well as feuding tenants - Tim and George - from the 19th century.Wednesday, January 7, 2009
