Within the grounds of Boughton sits the Dower House, a 17th-century House that has been locked up for 30 years and fallen into disuse. Over the years, it has been used for many films, including Les Misérables (2012).
It offers a unique opportunity to explore this time capsule, complete with its numerous rooms, attics, stairwells, and passageways. Haunted Heritage has been granted exclusive access to the derelict property.
Is it haunted?
Now inhabited primarily by the ghosts and spirits that remain here, footsteps are often heard approaching, but no one ever appears. Dark figures have been seen on the staircase, and shapes move quickly from room to room. What awaits us?
On our first visit, we felt a real sense of being watched as we wandered through the empty, derelict rooms.
The house and all its rooms remain unchanged, stuck in time. Strange occurrences have happened during our investigations;
Many of our team and guests have reported whispers in empty corridors, heavy footsteps on the stairs where no one is there, and shadowy figures in two areas.
Strange phenomenon – On our last visit, a member of our team received a strange message over her two-way radio. Other team members only heard static… but someone was saying ‘HELLO’
Now it’s your turn. With full use of our ghost-hunting equipment, you will spend the night in the dark.
Join our investigation with like-minded people.
Join us as we venture into the unknown… at the Dower House.
Boughton House is a country house in the parish of Weekley in Northamptonshire, situated 3 miles northwest of Kettering, Northamptonshire. It is set within an estate of 11,000 acres. It is one of Britain’s best-preserved stately homes, with a world-renowned art collection and stunning landscaped gardens.
The Dower House, Grade II* listed
History
The House as it stands today is primarily the work of Ralph Montagu, later 1st Duke of Montagu, who inherited a more straightforward Tudor building in 1683.
His son, John, 2nd Duke of Montagu, was passionate about the landscape and made grand changes to the gardens. His new landscape spanned 100 acres, featuring water features, splendid vistas, and tree-lined avenues.
Derelict and Empty!
After the death of the 2nd Duke, the House passed through the female line to noble families whose primary residences were elsewhere. The Dukedom of Montagu became extinct, and the House ‘slept’ for two centuries.
However, in the 20th century, it once again became a beloved family home, the residence of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, a descendant of the Montagu’s.
Today, the House remains a great favourite among visitors seeking peace, elegance, and the expression of man’s pursuit of cultural excellence.
