Cover of Chicksands Priory

From the back cover: Paranormal Historian Damien O’Dell investigates the myths and facts of Chicksands Priory in this fascinating book. Why is Chicksands Priory said to be England’s Most Haunted House? Why did Tony Robinson's Channel 4 Time Team investigate the ghostly history of Chicksands? Currently a Top-Secret Intelligence Base, Chicksands is hidden away in the forests of eastern Bedfordshire. Close by are its “sisters” - Bletchley Park, of Enigma Machine fame, and Woburn Abbey. What part did Chicksands play in the sinking of the German Battleship Bismarck in 1941 and the D-Day landings of 1944? How did the U.S. Air Force use this site during the Cold War of 1950 to 1995? In Medieval times, what are the stories of monks and nuns at the Priory - before King Henry VIII dissolved it in 1538? What is behind the legend of a Mother Superior walling up a “fallen nun” whilst still alive?
