The Royal oak/Burton Gaol
There was a lock up in the Market place from 1270s its first occupant being a murderer from Alrewas.It was nicknamed *Helle ” by the locals as conditions where so bad. It remained a gaol until the 1760s.Where it did remain as a prison and a public house. ” The landlord had to agree to guard prisoners in a cell and would be accountable to the lord of the manor if a prisoner escaped. After the 1830s it had a period as a vicarage and then reverted back to a pub.
The building has no lack of ghosts including a witch,gaoler,priest and many more. Who have proved to be very interactive with the public. I am going to tell you all about it or as has happened in the past they may tell you themselves.

The haunted walk is the nickname given to Burton ghost walk. With visitations of spirits. With a spirit of a abbot appearing and terifying a group so much they ran of the walk. This is one of numerous examples of spirits contacting the public while going round the walk.
