I worked at Walton Hall in Wellesbourne in 1990 as part of the maintenance team not long after Graham Maynard had left.
Although i never experience anything by day at night on w/ends i had to take my turn every 4th w/end to do 12hr shifts cause of new guest’s coming and leaving this included night shift.
The reception back then was in the main house i have never witnessed anything visually but would often hear unexplainable noises and have heard what sounded like children running along the corridors and would investigate and there would be nobody there this all happened above reception in the main house only.
Where Main Reception is now i suspect from pictures is the old orchard mews on the location of the old stables as far as i know and i would often feel very uneasy in there even in the daytime.
Also the main courtyard there used to be sounds of horses moving around from their horse shoes on stone although i never witnessed this personally other staff members had told me hope this has given you a bit more info and details.
Kindest Regards

I stayed at Walton Hall in the coach house several years ago one Sunday night. I had quite a frightening experience when I woke up to hear the creaky door to our corridor opening (approx 130am) followed by several very slow and thudding footsteps getting louder towards my room. I instantly felt that something wasn’t right. I was expecting to hear one of the few doors on our corridor open and shut but there was no sound. Several seconds later a bright white light flashed in my room. I was scared and would not open my eyes for a very long time !
