36 Hours in a Priest Hole
In 2017 I spent 24hours in a priest hide, this time I have decided to go one further and spend 36hours locked away.
Harvington is undergoing bridge repairs, and even though we have received grant funding, we are still short of the funds needed.

    Been up the spiral stairs through the passages in the walls. It was slighted after Cromwell attacked it with cannons from kates hill. There's a road called Cromwell cross where they fired the cannons. Like many of these buildings, they're loss was eventually caused by fire and neglect. Though The civil war didn't help either.

Thankfully the Sutton’s were well documented though. There’s a book on the Sutton’s of North Carolina & England, that’s where I found a lot of the information on. I also used the app “ family tree “ and after putting in my great grandfather, it all filled itself in dating back to the 1400’s. That’s when I started learning about Dudley castle and all

    Wasn't there another Dudley who served Henry VII in some manner? Who when Henry VIII came to the throne had that Dudley thrown into the Tower for the crimes against the people. Because they so hated him for his cruelty towards them in Henry VII's name.
