Here is a little info on the place;
Taken from wiki;

The Moat House is a Grade II* historic building located in what were once the grounds of Tamworth Castle in Staffordshire, England. A Gazebo nearby is a Grade II listed building.

Currently the Moat House is a family restaurant.

A rare family of 18 Black Swans live around the grounds.


[edit] History
Built in 1572 by William Comberford as a family home, it sits on the banks of the River Tame.

Charles I stayed in the property in August 1619.

In 1815 the Moat House became a lunatic asylum.

Prior to its current ownership the property was a Berni Inn, and before that a Schooner Inn.


[edit] Ghosts
It is purported that walking the second floor corridors is the ghost of a young girl named Emily.[citation needed] It is believed she was locked in the tower by her father and died in a fire that originated from a burning candle

The moat house isn't posh!just a grand building.If you look closely,you can see the high rise flats behind! Nope on the wheels,waiting for the toyo's to wear out before that happens.

[Rav335uk]
