Fitz Manor is a manor house in the village of Fitz near Montford Bridge, Shropshire, England. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The manor, which overlooks the River Severn, was built in 1450, although the original structure is believed to have been a Saxon Hall. The manor was owned at one time by the bishop of Shrewsbury and it had its own church.[citation needed] In the 20th century it came into the ownership of the Baly family, who have owned the manor ever since. and ran it as a bed and breakfast.
The rooms are named by colours, for instance the "Red Bedroom" and "Orange Bedroom".
The manor is reportedly haunted. There have been documented sightings of a homosexual priest who was purportedly crucified in the dining room, the figure of a lady in the red room and cemetery, and the ghost of a strong tobacco smoker smelt but not seen.[2] The manor has been subject to an investigation by Most Haunted
