Send in DCI Barnaby and Sgt. Troy - they’ll figure it out.

I’ve been watching old BBC shows on youtube about restoring these old landmark buildings and it’s exciting when the workmen uncover something.

Article is at best hyperbolic, Europe is full of houses and castles with paintings from the 16th century. I’ve literally toured houses offered up for sale in france, Switzerland and Germany with fresos dated from even earlier 😂

This from Wiki:

The hall was witness to dreadful violence in April 1605, when Walter Calverley murdered two of his sons, William and Walter, after drinking heavily. He was tried in York for murder, but refused to plead and was therefore pressed to death. Because of his refusal, his property could not be seized by the state, and passed to his surviving baby son, Henry.

Betcha the place is haunted!
