Embalmed in Tar - Hollinwood, Greater Manchester - 18th century

By: Martin Heaps

In the eighteenth century a certain Miss Beswick lived in the Manor House at Birchen Bower, Hollinwood, now a part of Greater Manchester. At the time her house was surrounded by woods and fields, and her estates included Rose Hill and Cheetwood. Most of the Manor House was demolished after her death.

Miss Beswick was an eccentric character, and later in her life she recieved a shock which effected her greatly. She recieved news that here brother had died but that as his body was being layed in the coffin a slight movement was seen. This came as a shock to the doctor who certified hime dead. Her infact brother lay in a coma for a few more weeks but eventually came too and lived for many more years.

Fightened by this chain of events Miss Beswick later changed her will to leave everything to a Dr White in return for her not to be buried and that her body to be rought back to the manor every 21 years. She died in 1768 and Dr White carried out his agreement and embalmed Miss Beswick in tar.

She was then presented to the Natural History Museum in Manchester where she was on display for 100 years, until the commisioners decided that enough was enough, and they decided to bury her as she was becoming "undesirable". She was finally laid to rest in Harpurhey Cemetary.

After here death her ghost had been seen by many people who live in the manor now converted into seperate dwellings. Her appearence would be preceeded by the rustling of her silken dress; she would be seen in black gliding through the kitchen and disappearing on the same flag stone. The apparation was seen as late as 1920 at that time next to a well near the stone cottage in which she moved to when to she was too infirm to live in the manor.
