Ghost Hunting Experience At Staveley Hall, Chesterfield

Staveley Hall, Chesterfield
Standing high and proud in the hills of Staveley stands this stunning Grade 11 listed building.
Staveley Hall dates back to 1604 although history claims it was built upon the grounds of a much older Manor dating back as far as 500 more years.
The original house was gifted by William the Conqueror to Hascoit Musard De Bretagne and his family for helping him defeat the Anglo Saxons in 1066. And the church that stands next door to the manor is even mentioned in the doomsday book.
The Musards held onto Staveley Hall from 1066 until 1300 when Nicolas Musard passed away. As he only fathered 3 daughters and because he was a Baron it had to be the next male in the family who would inherit the house.
The next in line was Ralph Frenchville. The Frenchvilles lived at Staveley until John Frenchville passed away in 1682.The hall was passed a few more times throughout history before finally being sold to Staveley Urban District Council in 1967
The house holds many connections with famous people and important national events through history including The Brontes, The Gunpowder Plot, The English Civil War, The Glorious Revoloution, The Mutiny On The Bounty are just a few.
