LOCATION
Why is Faringdon said to be haunted?
Faringdon changed hands violently during the English Civil War, when Royalist forces fortified Faringdon House and endured a prolonged siege by Parliamentarian troops in 1645β46; a cannonball fired during the bombardment reportedly still sits lodged in the tower of All Saints' parish church, a physical scar the town has never removed. Locals connect that siege to persistent stories of a Royalist soldier seen at dusk near the churchyard wall, and of drumming or marching sounds heard along the old approach to Faringdon House on quiet winter evenings, decades before the folly on Folly Hill was even built in the 1930s. The town's market place, site of public punishments in earlier centuries, has its own separate legend: a cloaked figure glimpsed standing motionless near the old market cross, gone the instant anyone approaches to look closer.
