Still mourning her twin.
Ordsall Hall has stories of hauntings. A White Lady seen in the Great Hall or Star Chamber is said to be Margaret Radclyffe, who died of a broken heart in 1599 after her twin brother Alexander was killed in Ireland. A separate legend says the Gunpowder Plot was planned here, but that comes from an 1841 novel.
