A eight hundred years later and 182 offenders would meet a similar fate, dangling by the neck from the ‘hanging beam’ over the buildings stairwell.
All this took place as not only was the building used by travellers and locals as a place to get a tankard of ale or a hearty meal, but it was also regularly used as a courthouse which was then hosted by ‘Judge Jeffreys’ or ‘The Hanging Judge’ as he was nicknamed. This carried on until the mid 19th century when executions stopped
So with such a sinister background, The Skirrid Inn can offer many chilling stories
The spirits of those executed here, are said to make their presences felt in a rather direct and disturbing way.

Hauntings
This building has the lot along with the usual footsteps, knocks and doors slamming shut, both locals & guests have felt the overwhelming sensation, of a noose being slipped around their necks and have been alarmed to feel it getting tighter at the same time. Even though they manage to stop this strange sensation, they bear the distinct impression of the marks of the rope for sometime afterwards.
Another ghost to haunt the old and, in parts, spooky property is that of woman who, although never seen, is both felt and heard by staff as she rustles invisibly past them, her progress marked by a distinct chill in the air. This lady is suppose to be an Victorian Landlady called fanny price. you can still visit her grave in the local graveyard.
