A brief note about the area
A woman in a red dress and no coat, in the snow |
|
Bolter End is a small hamlet consisting mainly of countryside with a few scattered houses and lying about 8 kilometres to the east of High Wycombe. The Bolter End Sand Pit, once a source of gravel, has been a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for over 25 years.
On a cold December day in 1973 a girl was walking across a field heading towards Hanover Hill when she saw a woman in a red dress. At the time it was snowing but the woman was not wearing a coat. Was she the ghost of Anna, a young woman from Lane End who fell ill and died in 1766, ten days before she was due to marry, and who loved the colour red? In the 1940s her appearances were very common and she was seen again in the 1960s, usually in the late afternoon. Her ghost has also been seen at Wheeler End.
