Littlecote house..

ok.. potted history of this room..
wild william Darrell..(borrowed from wikipedia)
He had an affair with the wife of Sir Walter Hungerford, his neighbour; when Sir Walter sued for divorce, she was acquitted, and Sir Walter sent to prison. Some years later, Mother Barnes, a midwife from Great Shefford, recalled being brought blindfold in 1575 to the childbed of a lady, with a gentleman standing by who commanded her to save the life of the mother, but who (as soon as the child was born) threw it into the fire. Barnes did not name or indicate either Darrell or Littlecote, but his enemies quickly ascribed this murder to him.
This is the room where this atrocity took place and where the child was put on the fire..
i saw this on a ghost story TV prog recently whilst i was in Brunei!
and tonight i was able to see the room...
Steves Dad was staying at this hotel, and mentioned the history...
apparantly it felt cold in the room

BUT i was already cold! didnt notice any difference to be honest..
