This article will take a look at the villages of Aylemerton, Great Melton, Old Portsmouth, and in the village of Horning.
In Old Portsmouth, the village serves as home to the ghost of James Hill, which is also referred to as "Jack the Painter." Throughout the streets of Old Portsmouth, the ghost roams. The soul of this ghost is in torment for the crimes he committed while alive. Jack the Painter was known for trying to set the Portsmouth Dockyard on fire in 1776. For this act, he was hung. There have been many different places that his ghost is said to appear, often seen lugging heavy chains wherever he goes.
Therefore the legend of the Painters Ghost...hope this helps...I am always facinated by what I learn by answering questions. Alda
