did not know kid!

Tunnel?

wow love to have a look in there.

yerr so would i?

looks like something has been blocked up?

I used to work in the stanley across the road. Apparently there used to be a tunnel from the church to the pub as some sort of escape route for monks.

I learnt this when I was cashing up and I saw a hoodie come out of the cellar and go out the back, I legged after him/her and into a dead end....There was no escape and no Hoodie!

Turns out there's meant to be a ghost of a monk in the pub....I left soon after to start a full time job

wow how cool mate!

Wasn't at the time!

If you stand out side the Stanley, There are three cellars, one next to the car park, one under the central block and one one the right side. The central Cellar was not accessible. It was bricked up. I gather that is were the tunnel came out. (almost under the front door.

Nice info mate!

I did the roof on this church many years ago.. i can remember the tree by the gate a yew the oldest in the UK..

By 'did the roof' do you mean you made off with the lead flashing?
