Chief Stoker William Bennett • Swanton Novers

Headstone of Royal Navy Chief Stoker William Bennett of HMS Mallard.

After 21 year service he died of illness at Chatham, Kent on February 14th 1919. He was only 39 years old. 

Given the year, it's very possible his illness was the influenza that was sweeping the world. I don't know, though.

He is buried with his wife Rosa, who passed in 1941 aged 56.

Golden Lion Hotel • Hunstanton

Golden Lion Hotel, Hunstanton

Norfolk

A young girl has been seen around the hotel, most notably in one of the bedrooms. On that occasion, the girl appeared during the night at the end of a guest's bed. There have also been periodically reports of poltergeist like activities. 

The building was originally known as New Inn, but when the railway came to Hunstanton in 1862 a scheme was hatched to turn New Hunstanton into a seaside resort. A London architect was brought in to develop the inn and turn it into the Golden Lion Hotel. Since 1984 is has been a Grade II listed building. 

It has undergone refurbishment in recent years and is a pleasant place to stop in for food or a drink if you don't fancy spending the night with the ghost!

Rose Claxton • Rollesby

The reclining effigy of Rose Claxton, who died in 1601, aged just 23. 

Can't help but think this looks like an uncomfortable position in which to spend eternity... but it is, nevertheless, a beautiful carving.
