[edit] Text from "Priest-hole"
The following is the original text from "Priest-hole" which is now a redirect to this page.
"A Priest-hole, in the context of 16/17th century English history, is secret chamber in a building in which Roman Catholic clergy would hide when the home they were staying in was about to be searched by the English authorities who were anxious to suppress Roman Catholicism and support the Church of England. They were sometimes built, as in East Riddlesden Hall, as an offshoot from a chimney or behind panelling, for example in Ripley Castle, Ripley, North Yorkshire."

[edit] Terminology
A minor correction may be in order for the caption of this page's illustration, which reads, "The concealed entrance to a priest hole in Partingdale House, Middlesex (in the right column)". The structure termed 'the right column' may be better referred to as 'the right pilaster'. Evangelon 02:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
