This story takes place at Fenwick Hall Plantation, built on John's Island. It owner was Edward Fenwick, (a loyalist and at the onset of the Revolution fled to New York where he died in 1775). He built his huge mansion to resembled their family castle in England, where the title of Lord Ripon came to him. He was known in the area for his import of fine English thoroughbred horses.

This story is about his seventeen year old daughter...
Ann Fenwick, and her love for the horses and for the groomer, Tony. Ann went to ask permission from her father to marry Tony, but Lord Ripon flatly refused. She tried again several weeks later but me t the same tone. Ann and Tony decided to elope, so they chose a night, made their way to the marshes of the Ashley River only to discover there was no boats in sight. They would have to wait till dawn . They found an abandoned cabin where they decided to wait out the night. With the dawn came their discovery by Lord Ripon and his men. Upon their return to Fenwick, Ann told her father that she was Tony's wife since the day before when Rev. Mr. Marshall had married them. Lord Ripon, filled with anger, ordered that Tony be placed atop a horse and a rope placed around his neck. He then placed a whip into Anns hands and forced her to strike. Upon seeing her husband swaying from the big oak tree she screamed his name and then collapsed. She was carried into the mansion and upon reviving she called for Tony. No one was able to convince her of the terrible event that had taken place. The years passed with Ann still calling out for Tony. Her search continued until her death...or did it?
The story goes... that Anns footsteps can still be heard as she passes up and down the hallways of Fenwick Castle always followed by the mournful cries of "Tony_Tony_Tony!"
