Florence Welch’s £1.9m Renovation Hit by Skeleton Scare

BBG News

Purchasing a twelfth-century rural manor isn’t for the timid-spirited; it’s filled with chilling tales lurking at every turn, and red tape complications make relocation a hassle.

A 12th-century countryside mansion isn’t for those with tender constitutions; ghostly legends are found in every nook and cranny, while moving becomes a headache due to bureaucratic hurdles.

Florence Welch encountered a distressing surprise when the construction team working on her Somerset estate expressed concerns about potentially unearthing ancient skeletons from the medieval era.

38-year-old Florence Welch, known for her hit “You’ve Got The Love,” purchased a significant portion of land four years ago, and soon after, began designing plans to merge four separate buildings that have been standing independently since the 1940s.

Despite encountering various problems, including a recent unsettling revelation, she hasn’t finished relocating yet.

According to a recently uncovered archaeological record, digging at the 900-year-old property might unearth old human remains, in addition to intriguing artifacts from history, as The Sun notes.

According to a well-informed insider, it’s been four years since Florence has been the owner of not just three structures but also the entire property. Her fascination lies not only in general medieval history but also in the unique historical aspects of her recently acquired dwelling.

She had learned that the property could potentially go on sale, so when she had the opportunity to purchase it in 2023, she quickly bought it.

It allows her the opportunity to pursue her aspiration of dwelling in a historic, gothic-like structure, while also providing her with leisurely moments.

In simpler terms, a report prepared by John Moore Heritage Services for Somerset Council stated that there could be significant historical artifacts dating back to the Middle Ages.

In case human remains are discovered, they’ll be cleaned, documented, and carefully excavated following the guidelines of a Ministry of Justice permit.

As a dedicated lifestyle expert, I’ll ensure that the process of unearthing and post-discovery care is meticulously carried out in line with established guidelines. This includes a thorough investigation and excavation of all relevant deposits such as pyre sites, mausoleums, and mortuary enclosures. I’m committed to preserving the integrity of these historical finds for future generations to appreciate.

TopMob has contacted representives for Florence for comment. 

Previously, Florence And The Machine’s lead singer consented to pass on any medieval artifacts to the Somerset Museums Service.

The impressive Grade II-listed property that encompasses four buildings, for which the local council has given approval, is yet to be occupied by her.

The extensive property features over fifty spaces, divided among three floors, complete with a swimming pool and beautifully designed gardens.

The action would fulfill the aspiration of the composer behind “The Dog Days Are Over,” who has consistently voiced a wish to reside in a historic structure.

In an interview with Vogue back in 2011, she expressed her desire for either a gothic castle or a church, but unfortunately, due to her busy schedule, she hasn’t had the opportunity to pursue it as she’s only been home for about two weeks during the entire past year.

The records indicate that neighbors haven’t voiced any objections to the plans, however, it might upset a past resident of the property, specifically, a spectral inhabitant.

According to local folklore, the spectre of a grey lady has been spotted on the historic property.

In the 1970s, as reported in a book on the region’s folklore, an uncanny woman was spotted there.

As a fervent admirer, I can only speculate whether the enigmatic “gray lady” has made herself at home in Florence’s latest dwelling, yet it’s well-known that she maintains a deep connection with her spiritual realm.

In her music, the composer delves into themes such as mystical phenomena, hidden knowledge, sorcery, ancient rituals, and Wiccan beliefs.

In an interview with Vice back in 2015, she shared that she spent considerable amounts of time immersed in books and ancient structures, firmly believing in the existence of spirits and vampires, and maintaining a strong feeling that such supernatural events were occurring around her.

In school, the girl and her two companions established a secret group, where they compiled books containing spells they attempted to cast on their fellow students. She shared this information with the press.

Perhaps having a supernatural presence on her new estate will be a bonus for the spiritual singer.

Earlier, Florence hadn’t clarified her spiritual beliefs. However, her mother, Evelyn Welch who is the Vice-Chancellor of Bristol University, has referred to Florence as an ‘animist’.

An animist believes that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence.

In an interview with the New York Times Style, Australia, it was revealed that the indie singer experienced her earliest profoundly spiritual moment during her childhood in Camberwell, a region located in south London, where she spent her formative years and continues to reside as an adult.

According to the magazine’s report from December, she recollects simply observing rays of light filtering through her bedroom window, which made her feel linked to a greater entity.
