Florence Welch
Has purchased a £1.9 million property in Somerset and has been awaiting relocation for the past four years because of significant refurbishments.

In 2021, they first purchased the Grade II listed property and submitted their final plans last year to partly tear down certain structures as part of the renovation project.

The plans indicate that Welch, who is 38 years old, aims to bring together the four individual structures on the property—previously utilized as distinct residences since the 1940s—after purchasing the last remaining building on the site in 2023.

Documents indicate that none of the neighbors have raised objections to the plans, yet they might still bother an earlier resident of the property—a ghost.

As per local legends, the ghost of a grey lady has been seen at the historical site.

According to a book on the region’s local myths from the 1970s, an unsettling feminine presence was spotted there.

It remains unclear if Welch has knowledge of the ‘grey lady’ possibly inhabiting her new home, yet she is recognized for being connected to her spiritual side as a musician.

In her musical creations, the songwriter has delved into themes involving the supernatural, the occult, witchcraft, pagan rituals, and Wiccan customs.



“I devoted considerable time to poring over books and exploring ancient structures, firmly believing in the existence of spirits and vampires, and feeling an intense awareness of such phenomena occurring around me,” Welch stated to Vice in 2015.

She even initiated a witch circle at her school. ‘My two friends and I created these grimoires where we would attempt spells on our fellow students,’ she shared with the magazine.

Maybe having a mystical presence at her new property could be an advantage for the spiritually inclined vocalist.

Welch has previously declined to specify her spiritual beliefs but mentions that her mother, the vice-chancellor of Bristol University, Evelyn Welch, has characterized her as an ‘animist.’

An individual who follows animism thinks that various entities such as objects, locations, and living beings each have their own unique spiritual existence.

The independent artist’s first profound spiritual experience occurred during her childhood in Camberwell, South London, where she was raised and continues to reside. This revelation was shared in an interview with the New York Times Style section of their Australian edition.


The magazine quoted her as saying, “‘I just remember looking at rays of light streaming through my bedroom window and feeling a connection to something bigger.’” This statement was published in December.

The property, tracing its origins to the 12th century, spans across 1.2 acres in a tranquil Somerset village. It features numerous ancillary structures and well-manicured gardens.

The estate features sixty rooms spread over three levels along with a scullery, an impressive great hall, a swimming pool, and a folly.

The independent artist has filed six development plans for her future residence since acquiring the property, with these submissions currently awaiting approval or already accepted.

When reached for comment, Welch’s representatives declined to respond.
