Personal names
General notes
Peg's Pantry is the name given to a young servant in the house, Peg O'Nell, who died in or near a well (versions of the tale vary). She had displeased the mistress of the house. One version is that she was made pregnant by the master and his wife pushed Nell to her death in Peg O'Nell's Well near the house. Another version is that the mistress of the house simply wished her dead and Peg obliged by falling on ice. Either way, the house has been aid to be haunted from that time, and television programmes, especially 'ghost hunts' have featured Peg more than once. Some further background. The Waddow estate had been in the hands of the Tempest family since at least the 13th Century. The Tempest name appears across Lancashire and West Yorkshire through their extensive landholdings - and their notoriety as part of the Roman Catholic network of landed families that helped to generate the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion. This network included, most notable, the Shireburns of Stonyhurst but went far beyond the confines of East Lancashire. The Tempests lost the land in 1657 when Richard Tempest died in a debtor's prison (partly due to his subjection to recusancy fees. Thereafter, a series of families - all notably protestant - retained control until Waddow Hall became part of the Girl Guides 'estate'. The current house is Grade II listed and was built in the 17th century on an elevated site between Clitheroe and Waddington, and overlooking the River Ribble near Brungerley.
