The home was the manor house to Tappington Everard manor, and was birth place and home to Richard Harris Barham (born 1788) or Tom Ingoldsby of The Ingoldsby Legends. "The Spectre of Tappington," the first published Ingoldsby tale (1840) just one of several supposed ghosts, including the victims of Bad Sir Giles; the staircase is damaged as result of fratricidal murder of a Cavalier owner.
