The Witch, the Baronetess and the sealed room

Available for over a year

What would make someone order a room to remain sealed after their death? In seventeenth-century Yorkshire, Dame Mary Bolles was already a woman unlike any other. She was granted a unique baronetess title, linked by local folklore to tales of witchcraft and remembered for one extraordinary request. After her death, the room where she spent her final moments was closed and left untouched for fifty years. Image Credit: Getty
