The Picture

The Explanation

This is a picture of the ghost of Lord Combermere!

Lord Combermere was a British cavalry commander in the early 1800s, Combermere Abbey, located in Cheshire, England, was founded by Benedictine monks in 1133. In 1540, King Henry VII kicked out the Benedictines, and the Abbey later became the Seat of Sir George Cotton KT, Vice Chamberlain to the household of Prince Edward, son of Henry VIII. In 1814, Sir Stapleton Cotton, a descendent of Sir George, gained the title "Lord Combermere". Lord Combermere was killed by a horse drawn carriage in 1891.

This photograph of the Combermere Abbey library was taken in 1891 by Sybell Corbet - on the same day as Lord Combermere's funeral was taking place almost four miles away.
