A brief note about the area
The ghost of Headless Mag

_____________________________________________________________________
General

Milton Bryan was the home of Sir Joseph Paxton who was a horticulturist and architect, and who was responsible for the design of the Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851. St Peter’s church has a stained glass window which was donated by John’s widow to the memory of her late husband.

To the north of the village stands a building which was purpose built during the Second World War as a radio station to transmit false information and propaganda to the Nazis.

On the 1889 to 1891 map of the area the village is referred to as Milton Bryant.

Mags Lane

Two men were walking back from Eversholt feast on a rainy night when they saw a ghostly figure glide past them. To their horror the figure stopped then it turned round and came towards them. As they stood terrified the figure peeped under the umbrella they were carrying. The men dropped the umbrella and fled to the nearest cottage. Later witnesses said that their hair “stood bolt upright with fear”.

The ghost was that of Headless Mag who appears around midnight when a white shroud rises in a mist from a dell in the manor grounds not far from Mag Lane. She then slips silently through the shrubbery to the lane that was named after her. People are unsure of when Mag lived in the dell but some believe it may be as recently as the beginning of the twentieth century.
