Part of Eton College – this area has been haunted by Jane Shore. It was this young lady who was instrumental in saving the college from being destroyed by her lover, Edward IV, and because of this, she was given accommodation in Lupton's Tower until she died in 1526. A few years ago the editor of the Chronicle, having worked late in compiling a forthcoming issue, was returning to his dormitory but decided against walking through the ancient cloisters and took a different route. He entered a doorway leading onto Brewhouse Yard and saw a beam of light from Lupton's Tower, 'A woman in long mediaeval gown'. He hurried through the yard and, hearing footsteps following him, turned round to see only a `weird flash of light`. Another ghost infrequently witnessed is that of a figure, also in mediaeval clothing, that inhabits the Provost's Lodge. Inexplicable footsteps have also been heard in the building. |
