According to the legend, after their affair was revealed, 'Fair Rosamund' retired to live as a nun at Godstow Nunnery, the ruins of which sit just on the other side of the river to the west.

Despite having publicly shunned Rosamund, Henry continued to visit Rosamund at Godstow and the Trout Inn was believed to have been the site of their secret trysts.

Rosamund's ghost at the Trout Inn is said to manifest itself in a number of ways. Sometimes she is seen walking about the inn, although she is only visible above the knee due to the floor level having been raised considerably since Rosamund's lifetime.

She is also said to upset glasses and furniture, and occasionally alarm staff and diners by whispering in their ears. These hauntings are often accompanied by the scent of flowers, which some have put down to the fact that Rosamund was apparently buried with a sprig of heather.
