Great video! Really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to visit the estate and filming, and explaining the symbolism. It’s really beautiful. Michelle t
Very interesting. I had never heard of this place before. Mr. Tresham (sp?) was apparently a very creative lover of puzzles. A very imaginative way to hide in plain sight, so to speak. Really shows how important faith was to people of the time, even when it was the”wrong” brand of faith. Thank you for the tour and explanation.
Thanks, Philippa, one of my favourite roving reports to date, very interesting. Thomas Tresham was a genius designing all of this and so many holy symbols into his lodge. These were dangerous times and he took a great risk, as of course did Father Campion who was executed for his faith. Thanks for bringing this interesting building to life.
