Ghosts: The Button House Archives

Ghosts: The Button House Archives
The comic companion to the BBC sitcom Ghosts, perfect for all the family

Buy the official book AND support the conservation of the real Button House. Ghosts is filmed on location at West Horsley Place. The story of our Grade I manor house and Button House is surprisingly similar and some of the plot lines were inspired by the real life story of West Horsley Place. 

You could buy this book anywhere but only here will you also be supporting the transformation, conservation and protection of this special part of history.

Please note - The book is available for pre-order purchase. Purchases will be shipped after 26 October and you can choose UK or International shipping. Alternatively, the book will be available to buy from the West Horsley Place shop from 26 October. 

About the book
Everybody leaves a trace. The ghosts of Button House may have been dead a long time - some of them a very long time - but they have all left their mark on the world (even if, in Robin's case, that mark is just a handprint on the wall of a cave).

Gathered together in this volume is a treasure trove of unearthed cuttings, original records and rare artefacts that explore the unseen lives of those who died at Button House: from Thomas's love letters to Pat's 'Summer Camp Rap', and from Julian's campaign promises to Lady Button's Rules of Etiquette. There are even documents dictated to the one person who can see and hear the ghosts: Alison Cooper.

Written by the show's creators – Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – this eclectic archive is a unique chance to discover more about the beloved ghosts of Button House. Thank be to Moonah!

A book for all the family, it is as warm-spirited and deliriously daft as the series itself.
