Historic Location '7' - Facing South-West This photograph of part of the Nun's Walk, a section of the garden of Borley Rectory so named as it was here that the apparition of a nun-like figure was apparently most often seen, is taken from Harry Price's The Most Haunted House in England (Longman, Green & Co. Ltd., 1940). The photographer (presumably Sidney Glanville) is standing roughly in the middle of the lawn with the large octagonal summer house behind him on the far side. The Nun's Walk was parallel with the line of the southern boundary of the Rectory grounds, beginning on the edge of the copse of trees on the west side of the garden and running eastwards until it passed through into the trees on the east side of the lawn that enclosed the stream which bisected the mid-point of the Rectory plot from North to South.
Modern Location 'H' - Facing East The site of the Nun's Walk is very difficult to photograph today as it crosses the rear gardens of the bungalows built on the old Rectory garden. This photograph shows the original wall on the South boundary of the former Rectory grounds which still survives. It was taken from a vantage point where the wall angles in a South-Westerly direction. The Nun's Walk ran parallel with this boundary wall, the most Westerly end of which is on Eddie's left in this photograph, being on the edge of the copse of trees in the South-West corner of the Rectory site. As noted previously, this is private property and Eddie & I had the permission of the landowner to be in this location.
Modern Location 'J' - Facing South-South-East This is the beginning of the Nun's Walk as it is today at its most Westerly end nearest to the Rectory as marked on the Site Plan prepared by Sidney Glanville in 1937. The angled section of boundary wall in the above photograph is behind the trees and the Nun's Walk started roughly where the greenhouse is located.
