Richard got back to London yesterday having spent four days battling through some of the most atrocious weather conditions to have afflicted the country in over 30 years.

On Tuesday he managed to get through to the wonderful Harvington Hall and Walked over the fields to find it blanketed in snow. This lovely old red brick manor house has over 13 priests hides and is a real treasure of bygone England.

Later that day he headed over to Hanbury House and again trudged through the snow to explore its ghostly heritage and get a few snaps of it shrouded in a blanket of pristine snow.

Yesterday, Thursday, he headed for Shipton Under Wychwood, where he reacquainted himself with an old spectral friend Brother Sebastian who haunts the Shaven Crown Hotel.

From there it was off to Burford to glimpse a somewhat gruesome reminder of what all flesh becomes.

This effigy is under one of the tombs in Burford Church.

You can see the stories about these places at Richard’s Haunted Britain Blog.

Last night he arrived back in London to allow plenty of time for him to prepare for tonight’s London Ghost Walk. Our walks have been taking place all week, well it’s only snow after all, and as we say we go rain, shine, or thick snow. However, we have offered all our clients the option of transferring to another date should they be unable to make the tour and several have availed themselves of the offer.

Tomorrow night he will be conducting his Haunted London walk around the alleyways and the shadows of the old city, and then on Monday, weather willing, it’s off to Edinburgh to visit more haunted locations and film for his new Sherlock Holmes Documentary of which more at a later date.

So, with the New Year now very much upon us it is most certainly full steam ahead on our London walks.
