The Cock and Bottle, Skeldergate

Although the pub is relatively modern, it is haunted. A landlady was disturbed by a ghostly apparition while taking a shower. It has been suggested the ghost was George Villiers, an alchemist and libidinous hedonist from the reign of Charles II. The ghost, said to be malevolent and quite ugly with wavy black hair and a large nose, hates crucifixes.
