Tudor House
Tudor House in Chester dates back to the 16th century and is considered one of the city’s oldest timber-framed buildings. Located on Lower Bridge Street, it was originally constructed as a townhouse for wealthy merchants. The structure features distinctive black and white timber framing typical of Tudor architecture.
Over the centuries, Tudor House has served various purposes, including as a residence, shop, and meeting place. During the English Civil War in the 1640s, it reportedly provided shelter for Royalist soldiers defending Chester against Parliamentarian forces.
The building has accumulated numerous ghost stories over time. One of the most persistent tales involves the spirit of a young woman in Tudor-era dress, often seen gazing out of an upper-floor window. Some witnesses claim to have heard her sobbing.
Another reported apparition is that of a Civil War soldier, believed to be one of the Royalists who sought refuge in the house. Visitors have described seeing his ghostly figure in the lower rooms and hearing the sound of heavy footsteps on the wooden floors.
Staff and guests have reported inexplicable cold spots throughout the building, particularly on the stairs and in certain upstairs rooms. Objects have allegedly moved on their own, and some people have experienced the sensation of being watched or touched by an unseen presence.
The attic space is said to be particularly active, with reports of disembodied whispers and the sound of children playing when no one is present. Some psychics claim to have sensed multiple spirits residing in this area of the house.
