The skull of a Benedictine monk, believed to be nearly 300 years old, has disappeared from a glass case at Wardley Hall, Worsley, near Manchester, the new home of the Bishop of Salford (Dr. Henshaw).
Wardley Hall has been known for many years as "The House of the Skull," and legend has it that a furious storm arose when a maid once threw the skull into the moat. Since then the skull has been kept in a glass case on the staircase.
The glass case had been smashed.
From the Lancashire Evening Post, Wednesday 26th November 1930.
