Humphrey (ghost) is a young boy

Seen only by one customer who complained about staff letting children in shop when dining alone – no children in shop at the time

Superstition that he gets up to mischief if not acknowledged – a chef heard running, went to investigate and found no one there, then returned to the kitchen to find the pots and pans moved around. He said, “Don’t mind me Humphrey” and it stopped

Name ‘Humphrey’ has old German origin, meaning ‘peaceful warrior’ - oddly fitting with his character

On a busy Christmas market day, the chef went down to get supplies and didn’t acknowledge Humphrey; he found pans everywhere and a carving knife sticking out of the floor

Attic said to be haunted by sound of money being counted, dropped and rolling across the floor – thief

Built late 17th century (1600s), origins fate back to 14th century

1649  - parliamentary survey shows it was a shop with a kitchen and cellar, lodging upstairs

1730s – occupied by Dr Peter Richier

Building was baker, grocer, wollen draper, orange merchant, watchmaker, bridle cutter, toy shop, antique furniture shop before becoming boarding house between 1928 – 1937 (bookshop until 1946)

1987 Browns pie shop created by McFarlene & Mason

1999 purchased by Allan and Chris Gill

2016 taken over by Daniel and Carly Gill

Most sightings of Humphrey come from the cellar

Contacted famous spiritual medium David Acorah in 2006

1925 Lawrence of Arabia stayed in building, likely wrote famous novel ‘Seven Pillars of Wisdom’ in Pie Shop
