Tilney All Saints - Norfolk

The submitter of this story wishes to remain annonymous.

My friend who is a builder had to do some work on Ivy Farm in Tilney All Saints, in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. He and many other workmen from all different trades now refuse to go back into the property and do not even like discussing what went on there.
From what my friend said all their equipment and tools were moved, bricks thrown at them and noises of children laughing and playing, but when bricks were thrown at him and nails flying towards him so fast they were imbedded into the wall behind he was the last to down tools and never return.
Me and his partner often joke about going to stay the night there but he is truly frightened of the place and does not find it a joke at all.
Most people I would not believe, but my friend is 24st and used to be head doorman at some of the roughest night clubs.

Clophill Church.

Clophill is a long linear village, surrounded by woodland, in mid Bedfordshire, at the west end of the high street is the 19th century lock up and pound.

Clophill has become notorious for two reasons, firstly, satanic rites practiced in the church of St. Mary, up on the ridge above the village, and secondly a famous murder.

A church has stood on the site since Norman times; the present derelict building was abandoned in 1830, for a larger one down in the village. Stories of witchcraft, satanism and black magic became associated with it.

St. Mary�s church is also known as BLACK MAGIC church by some of the locals of Clophill.

The second cause for notoriety in Clophill village was a murder which shook the british nation back in 1961. This was the infamous A6 murder, on the night of 22nd of August of 1961 that James Hanratty killed Michael Gregson. At the time the 21 day trial made Britain�s longest. On the 17th February 1962 Hanratty was found guilty at Bedford�s assizes.
