Desperately trying to remember the title of a book I loved as a child. Kept getting it out of the library. I enjoyed it when I was about 10/11 and that was late 80s/1990.

It's a ghost story. Main character is a girl, around 13 I think. Family move to a house that used to be a church.
plot plot plot
and I think the resolution was the ghost was a girl who had drowned in the lake in Victorian times.

Not much to go on is it?

Similar time period of release as moondial and tom's midnight garden etc but not those. Think it was aimed at 11/12 year olds.

Any thoughts at all?? I'd love to buy it for my niece who is really into ghost stories at the moment.

you see I KNEW it was something to do with Helen but I thought I was misremembering about Moondial and Helen Cresswell.

Thanks all :) I'll try and come up with a more difficult mystery next time.

Oo I remember reading that! Never thought about it ever again until today. I bought it with a book token I got for my birthday, in 1986 when it had just been published.
