[QUOTE="JCMaloney, post: 4856394, member: 2821"] I had almost forgot this thread and I spoke to a friend who works for English Heritage (or Historic England or whatever they are called this week) He says they are mostly escape tunnels or "secret" entrances/exits for folk & goods, people have been building them for many centuries. Of course, over time, the need for them diminishes and the use can change to culvert/wine store or they just get bricked up/back filed & forgotten rather than folk paying to remove them. [USER=6448]@7610 super q[/USER] ..... cellar I would suggest for yours, bit to obvious for an escape route/priest hole unless it was re-used. [/QUOTE]
