This romantic Tudor manor house at Uley, near Dursley, is reputedly haunted by Margaret of Anjou, queen consort of Henry VI.

She appears as a 'lady in beautiful clothes' who drifts through the rooms in the house.

Margaret of Anjou was stayed at Owlpen Manor before the Battle of Tewkesbury, the turning point in the Wars of the Roses in 1471 which brought the House of York to the throne.

Margaret of Anjou was then imprisoned and her son was killed.

Visitor information: Owlpen Manor is open May-Sept (Tue, Thu, and Sun only) 2pm-5pm.
