''Mother Ludlene's Hole'' in Moor Park
View through Europeana Collections
This cave near Farnham was purportedly the home
of Mother Ludlam (or Ludlene), a solitary 17th-century woman
commonly known as the White Witch of Waverley. William Cobbet wrote
of the cave in 1825: "Alas it is no longer the enchanting place
that I knew it. The semi-circular palings are gone, the iron cups,
fastened by chains for people to drink out of, are gone; the
pavement all broken to pieces; the seats for people to sit on, on
both sides of the cave, torn up and gone; the stream that ran down
through a clean paved channel, now making a dirty gutter; and the
ground opposite, which was a grove chiefly of laurels, intersected
by closely mown grass walks, now become a poor ragged-looking alder
coppice."
