Catholics were suppressed, but not to the bloody extent of protestants by Mary, by Elizabeth I. The Catholics built hiding places for clergy and other people sought by the crown.

• Think about what it would be like bundled into a priest hole.
• Think about the practicality of getting to the priest hole and knowing when enemies approached.
• Think about why they went to this trouble.

All these pictures are from "Secret Chambers and Hiding-Places" by Allan Fea. This book is in the public domain.
