A queen's quiet ghost before the battle.
Owlpen Manor says family tradition has Margaret of Anjou spending the night of 2 May 1471 there, on her way to the Battle of Tewkesbury. Her ghost, a grey lady in a fur-trimmed gown and wimple, is said to walk in the Great Chamber. The BBC (2002) also says some think she haunts it.
