Battlesden House was a large manor house situated in parkland, Battlesden Park, close to the hamlet of Battlesden in Bedfordshire, England. A manor house was constructed in the late 16th century and was associated with the family of Lord Bathurst before he sold the estate to Sir Gregory Page in 1724. The estate was later inherited by Page's great-nephew Sir Gregory Page-Turner in 1775. According to legend, the house was haunted by the ghost of a steward, who would recite the rhyme: 'Milk and water I sold ever,Weight and measure I gave neverAnd I shan't rest, never, never.'
