London, England, is a hot spot for hauntings. Ghosts have been sighted at the notorious Clink Prison (yes, this is where the term “the clink” to refer to prison comes from), but there are many haunted locations besides this notoriously brutal jailhouse.
The beautiful Fulham Palace, a former summer home for the Bishops of London, was used as a public building for over twelve centuries. The palace became the site where royal allegiances between Protestantism and Catholicism led to a host of hauntings.
The drama included Bishop Ridley (1550-1553) being burned alive at the stake. Who could forget the Tower of London, the Bleeding Heart Yard, or the bar haunted by one of Jack the Ripper’s victims, Annie Chapman?
When you tour haunted locations of London, take a trip to the Maritime Museum. The museum is housed in Queen Anne’s House, the site of proof that ghosts exist. Why is Queen Anne’s House the shelter of specters?
Queen Anne’s House
Queen Anne’s House was a royal home built between 1616 and 1635 near Greenwich Place, a few miles down the Thames river from the City of London. The building has been significant for much of its existence. It is now part of the Royal Museums of Greenwich and what is now known as the Old Royal Naval College. What makes Queen Anne’s House unique is the design by architect Inigo Jones.
Jones was commissioned in 1616 to build the house by King James I’s wife, Anne of Denmark. Queen Anne’s House was an apology gift to Anne by her Husband because he swore in her presence.
The swearing was because Queen Anne accidentally killed one of the King’s favorite hunting dogs while on a hunt. Why else would you hire someone to build a random house? Anne was unable to enjoy her apology house because she died in 1619 when only the first floor was completed, and after her death, construction stopped entirely. James I’s son, Charles I, gave the unfinished house to his wife, Henrietta Maria, who ordered construction to resume.
Queen Anne’s House was finally completed in 1636 and was named, appropriately, The Queen’s House. The building was unique because it was the complete opposite of the typical red-brick Tudor style of building.
