In the 17th century Catholicism was frowned upon in Britain and many masses were conducted here in secrecy.

Could the child-like feelings and giggling that the crew experience be the work of ghosts of small children that used to live here? The team bravely conduct a séance where Rick is overcome with physical pains and tingling.
The Moresby family were notorious in the medieval times, and aquired large estates through conquest and marriage. One of the most famous, Christopher de Moresby, fought at Agincourt and was honoured on the field with other knights by King Henry. Four generations of de Moresby later, Anne, Sir Christopher's great grand-daughter was sole heiress. She married Sir Francis Weston, who was executed by King Henry VIII, along with Queen Anne Boleyn and another of her alleged paramours. Anne finally sold Moresby Hall to a well-to-do merchant from Cockermouth - William Fletcher. The Fletchers were also a powerful family and owned Moresby Hall for 250 years. William Fletcher was the son of Henry Fletcher, who entertained Mary, Queen of Scots prior to her imprisonment at Carlisle.

Towards the end of the war, in April 1945, a Lancaster caught fire while being bombed up, resulting in a huge explosion which set off further bombs.

Eventually closing in 1958, the RAF finally disposed of the site in 1970. In recent years due to the work of Fred and Harold Panton, East Kirkby is now home to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre.
