Welcome to Borley

Borley is a small village located in the county of Essex, England. It is known for its haunted Borley Rectory, which was once considered the most haunted house in England. The rectory was built in 1862 and was home to the Reverend Henry Dawson Ellis Bull, his wife, and their children. The family reported strange occurrences, including unexplained footsteps, ghostly apparitions, and objects moving on their own. The rectory was destroyed by fire in 1939, but the ghostly tales continue to fascinate people to this day.

In addition to the haunted rectory, Borley is also home to the Borley Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and its connection to the ghostly legends of the area. It is said that the ghost of a nun haunts the churchyard, and that the church itself is built on the site of an ancient monastery. Visitors to the church can take a guided tour and learn more about the history and legends of the area.

Today, Borley is a quiet village with a population of just over 300 people. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for those interested in the paranormal. Visitors can explore the village and its haunted history, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings and natural beauty of the area. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, Borley is a fascinating place to visit and a reminder of the rich history and legends that can be found in even the smallest of villages.
