The Queen in the Crown of Essex Tour
Thaxted is a joy to explore!

You few brave souls, dare you join me? As we journey back in time to the ancient past, the 7th century, to discover a dark tale of haunting, worthy of any great gothic novel!
Tucked away in a remote and ancient part of St Osyth, I found tales of great hauntings, with ghosts!
Imagine a beautiful Anglo Saxon Princess, who became a devout and pious Nun, and her haunting tale fills our hearts with terror, and her restless ghost walks again in St Osyth, echoing her agony down the centuries!
On this electrifying tale of haunting, we walk in the very footsteps of poor St Osyth, and that of her ghost!
Visiting 4 major sites of historical interest, as we tread in her very footsteps, what terrible fate awaited her in this place?
