In 2009, our first year at Abbey mill, a
little gift appeared. On a rusty nail at the back of the café
hangs a cross with a ring attached. The pretty, old purple ring had been well
worn and appeared unexpectedly on a quiet day. Confused by this ring staff and friends at
Abbey Mill searched for the owner or an explanation for several years with no
outcome.
Could this be something to do with the Ghost
of Abbey Mill?
In 1996, when firemen arrived to put out
the fire at Custodian cottage (Abbey Mill) their first priority was to rescue
the lady at the upstairs window. Except when they entered the building the lady
they saw at the window had vanished!
A similar story comes from previous
residents of Custodian cottage who’s family as far back as 1890 says “grandma
used to talk about the lady at the upstairs window”.
So are they connected?
Our ring is kept in a safe place as several
customers suggested it may have been left as a blessing to bring us good luck.
And after 7 years in business it hasn’t done too bad so far.
And
the lady at the upstairs window? Well she must be a friendly ghost
because she hasn’t done us any harm either.
Share your ghost stories with us this half
term if you pop in for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea, we’d love to hear
them . Our kids boxes now contain hot food with a biscuit and drink for the
winter and are served until 2.30pm.
