She still waits for him.
Dorothy Southworth, from a Catholic family, fell in love with a Protestant neighbour. On the night they planned to elope, her brother (or brothers) killed the young man and his two companions. Dorothy was sent to a convent abroad and died of a broken heart. Her White Lady is said to walk the hall, grounds and even the road outside.
