The Queen in the Crown of Essex Tour
Thaxted is a joy to explore!
A perfect blend of medieval and Georgian architecture. Its beauty is matched by it’s history, it has everything!
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 a tale of great haunting, and with a ghost!
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 fate awaited her in this place?
This tour involves a mini bus and driver, and we can travel in comfort from Manningtree to St Osyth. The return journey takes us safely back to Manningtree
