The Anchor Inn in Warwick has a dark history tied to one of its former landlords. This is a place where the past comes alive with a rather unsavoury tale of grave robbing and deceit.

His dishonesty was eventually exposed and he was put on trial but he continued to lie through his teeth. It was during this trial that the Devil himself appeared and took the man straight to hell.
