The Headless Woman, Duddon
An old pub on the A51 at Duddon. According to legend, a party of Cromwell's soldiers, engaged in hunting down the Royalists in the Chester district visited Hockenhull Hall but found that the family, forewarned of the danger, had buried the silver and valuables and fled to safety. Only the faithful housekeeper Grace Twigg remained in charge of the Hall. The soldiers questioned her about the hiding place of the valuables, and when she refused to tell, they beheaded her. Tradition says that afterwards her ghost was seen on numerous occasions, carrying her head under her arm and walking along the bridle path between Hockenhull Hall and the site of the "Inn of the Headless Woman."
