Located east of Horley off Haroldsea Drive is the 12th century double moated site of Thunderfield Castle. A scheduled Ancient Monument Thunderfield Castle was said to have been a resting place for Harold's army as he marched towards battle at Hastings in 1066.
At sunset on 11th November a ghostly bell can be heard to toll, gradually getting louder and louder until midnight when a small ghostly army marches through the area.
Is this the Saxon army marching to their doom at Hastings?
Well the Battle of Hastings took place on 14th October so if this recurring haunting is taking place on the anniversary of an event it cannot be Harold and his men as they were long dead by 11th November.
Is it merely coincidence that the bell is heard to toll on Armistice day?

Sister Barbara, the Ghost of Marham Abbey, Vinegar Hill, Marham, Norfolk.
