With nearly 600 years of history, involving plots, intrigue and
paranormal activity, it is surprising that no one has ever before
written the definitive history of the Rye House in Hertfordshire.
The Rye House - An Investigative History aims to do just that.
Through meticulous research, Phil Holland has written this
fascinating account, taking the reader from the House's
fifteenth-century origins, through to Tudor times when Catherine
Parr spent part of her childhood there; to the Rye House Plot of
1683 - a plan to assassinate King Charles II and the Duke of York;
to the widely reported paranormal activity and apparitions; and
finally to the present day. The Gatehouse is all that now remains
of the fifteenth-century brick-built fortified manor. It is a Grade
I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as such is
protected by law. The Moated Enclosure is considered to be one of
the finest examples of the period in Hertfordshire. It is hoped
that this book will enthuse people about the Gatehouse and the
history of the Rye House, and that they in turn will come to
treasure the building and recognise its importance as a piece of
our country's history.
