The Legend of Mother Redcaps


The Legend of Mother Redcaps


The dangerous game of Wrecking, Smuggling, Gossip and Betrayal at Mother Redcaps ended up in Arrests, Hangings and even Murder in Cold Blood.


A Tavern sat in this spot from 1595 when first built by the Mainwaring Family, but it was in the 18th Century that it became known as Mother Redcaps and was a popular spot that welcomed Smugglers and Wreckers.


It may have long disappeared but the Smugglers legacy lives on and a few unsavoury characters are said to haunt the Nursing Home.


Local Legends have been passed down through generations of the Ghost of Mother Redcaps often spotted near the Location of her old Tavern, fulfilling her duties of guarding Loot and Ill Gotten Gains. 


They say that to this day, a large amount of hidden treasure remains beneath the Tavern Grounds.


The Legend of Mother Redcap Lives on….
