Brilliant story Sean , so pleased that you found the stone ! I love these old Murder tales !

[@Seany63]

Thank you Lyndon, it only took me five years to find it.🥴

[@ruthstarbuck9622]

Thank you Sean. Another brilliant tale.😊

[@Seany63]

Cheers Ruth.👍

Great story Sean! You brought the Lincolnshire Poacher song to life through the fate of just one man, the Enclosure Act was a massive blow to the masses. You mentioned Normanby, I used to work up that way 2000-2003 and I’m sure that I heard of ghost tales associated with Normanby Hall.

[@Seany63]

Thank you Mr Lovechild, its always nice to hear from you. Yes, I went to Normanby Hall a few years ago. The ghost is affectionately known as Norman but I can't remember the backstory. There is a haunted croosroads near there that I want to visit so thanks for reminding me.👍

Love this tragic tale , so pleased you managed to find the stone ! We never did !! .. Another interesting tale is that of Ethel Major ..the cornbeef killer ! ..

[@Seany63]

Thank you Karen, well I can give you directions should you ever want to find it.. I googled the cornbeef killer and found an interesting video about the crime on youtube. The channel is called "Crimes Through Time" Are you the lady telling the story? I ask because her name is also Karen.

Thank you.👍

[@user-tu8wr3mw2t]

Superb Sean. That's a lovely walk around Well & surrounding Wolds, done that many times. What a find of the stone after your 'tip off'. Looking forward to your next one. All the best

[@Seany63]

Thank you Malcolm, yes its one of my favorite walks, I go there at least a couple of times a year. Well, I felt a bit like Indian Jones when I found the stone. I first read about William Dadley more than 20 years ago and I've been looking for it since then.

[@MrStr8den]

Im glad that you found the stone, it was worth the wait.... made the skin on my arms go all goose-pimply!

[@Seany63]

And it was all thanks to you that I made this video. Thank you again.

[@MrStr8den]

@@Seany63 you are welcome; did you know about the POW camp that overlooks Well Hall - there are still quite few remnants there, such as the bases to the barracks (about six of them) some roadage and what i assume is a gate/guard house.

[@Seany63]

@@MrStr8den I remember hearing something about it years ago. Are they on private property? If not then once again I will rely on your directions if I may?

[@TheContinuingStories]

No damn way!!!!!!!! You found the stone! I can’t believe it lol. I know this story and covered it years ago but have never found the stone! Can’t believe you found it! Great revisit to this story, the church up at well is a favourite spot of mine in Lincolnshire.. the mansion at the bottom has recently been bought and I believe they’re not allowing access through the gate, which gives access for be church (via vehicle). I know you must’ve been excited to find this stone, because I know how you hate filming in winter ;) Great video, all the best.

[@Seany63]

Cheers Lee. Yes I had been looking for the stone for over 20 years, I literally screamed and jumped for joy when I found it but I cut that bit out of the video ha ha. My parents live near Alford so I walk the Well Vale once or twice a year. Yes, bummer about the gates. I can`t remember a time when you couldnt drive to the church. Anyway, nice to hear from you and I hope you had a nice time in Japan, was Japan?

[@victoriaweaver8071]

Hello Sean what another amazing video. I just watched it. Hope u r OK. Big hugs. Keep up doing more interesting videos. Xx

[@Seany63]

Thanx Vicky.👍

[@victoriaweaver8071]

Yr very welcome. R u ok.

[@Hailstonepie]

I was brought up in the countryside, my father was a poacher, he had to feed the family or we wouldn't have survived.

[@michelledaviesburton1334]

Hi Sean, hope you are well. Great to see your new content😊. What a tragic story 😢 Yes I thought he was probably not thinking straight because of celebrating with alcohol for a few hours 😢 His poor bride. Did she die young then too? I'm not surprised she is restless. Hope they are reunited. Anyway! I got all excited when you said ghost hunt lol 😂😂😂 But I donr blame you!! Tooo cold. Look forward to next time XxX😊

[@Seany63]

Thank you Michell yes, it was very tragic. I am not sure what happened to Mrs Dadley, I read somewhere that she moved from the area shortly afterward but I can't find the information. Yes, it was totally brass monkeys 🥶🥶🥶

[@waynesmith4612]

As always excellent video Sean and a very interesting one. The Dadleys were a big family of gamekeepers that went back generations if i'm not mistaken. Most of them were head keepers and were well known for not taking any nonsense. They keepered Norfolk,, Suffolk and im not sure if one didn't keeper one of the royal estates. I read up on them a long time ago and it was very interesting reading. Most nights there were confrontations and fights during the winter shooting seasons in the moonlit corridors of the woods.

[@Seany63]

Thank you very much Wayne, yes I remember reading somewhere that he came from a long line of gamekeepers. I wonder if the family tradition continues to this day?

[@waynesmith4612]

@@Seany63 Not that i know of Sean, but perhaps another subscriber might prove that wrong. As for them all being gamekeepers it was back in the day when family traditions just passed down from father to son mainly. Like you though why the guy went out without his gun is a mystery to me.

[@lorrainemorley4799]

Another very interesting video thank you sean hope you got some more planned

[@Seany63]

Thank you Lorraine, I hope to post a new video next week if things go to plan.

Bravo bravo 👏 excellent as always Sean it’s nice that you followed this story through,,,I’m always driving between Marshchapel and Louth,,,,i always say to my wife if I just stop the van and jump out it’s because I’ve spotted Sean 😂, i bet you have been busy with work in this heat once again all our love from Marshchapel,,,,,,ps. I will bump it to you one day 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

[@Seany63]

Thank you Lee, yes, its been murder working in the heat. Its hard for me to imagine now just how cold I was walking through those woods back in January. Well, Lee you might bump into me one day. I was recognized in a supermarket in Spilsby a few months ago.😂

[@kellyshaw7271]

Glad you found the stone, it was off the beaten track. Awful outcome to the story from difficult times. I wouldn't mind seeing her ghost though. Cheers

[@Seany63]

Cheers Kelly, yes I was umming and ahing about going back on the 10th. But it was too brass monkeys🥶

[@kariwellborn5083]

@@Seany63 no book is every terrible! Each has it's own reason and lesson to be taught. I really do want to find a copy.

[@Seany63]

@@kariwellborn5083 Well, Kari I assure you its so bad that even I don't have a copy. Long story short, they published my notes and not the finished stories. The publisher was a small one-man band operation and the chap was going a bit senile. The only good thing about it was my illustrations. It was first published over 20 years ago and now thankfully out of print. My mother has a copy and I hope it's the only one in existence. That being said however, if I do find a copy I will send it to you totally free of charge.
