    Why do you end your videos like that? Like before it's done. Give a little more time and elaborate, at least visually, a bit more. Somewhat unsatisfying.

    These videos were made short for social media reels which are designed to be short. Agreed longer ones are needed, but this is down to not having the time. We are a very small team at the Hall and these were made during lockdown.

    Wouldn't it have been made a bit more comfortable for the priest? Wouldn't there have been a rug and something like tapestries on the walls for warmth and to hide sound? Would there have been a candle and maybe a little table and chair? A cot to sleep on? A chamber pot, a jug of water or ale, bread and cheese and maybe even an hour glass to keep track of time? If I were going to hide a priest I'd have those spaces stocked a bit for comfort. But maybe there's something I don't know about that would keep them from doing that. The red herring jewelry box was pretty smart!

    We are viewing the attic with the advantage of your camera light/flashlight. Imagine what it would have been like for a priest to navigate his way to one of those priest hides using a candle or even no light at all. Is there any written record of a priest using one of the priest hides for its intended purpose?

    as far as they know, no priests were ever found at Harrington, because otherwise the hide would have been destroyed
