HISTORY The name Ince comes from Hinne a celtic word meaning island. This name bears evidence to Ince Blundell lying on a sandy ridge in the Alt valley a place that in the past had been marsh. Built in 1720 Ince Blundell Hall was the home of the Blundells of Ince, who became the Weld-Blundells until 1959. It is now a Nursing Home run by the Canonesses Of Saint Augustine . TODAY The local Pub called the Weld Blundell is on the A565. GHOSTS Ince Woods, through which the A565 passes, is said to be haunted by the Ghost of a woman killed nearby, the ghost is known as the Grey Lady. If you drive through the woods at midnight on a certain night of the year, she will appear in the road, outside a large round house, forcing the driver to crash their car. As with most legends of this type, it's probably nothing more than playground gossip. EXTERNAL LINKS
