Oh dear, that has made her just the tiniest little bit sad.. her family sold this ancient and truly outstanding Tudor - late Georgian - house in 1964 and since then, the owners have ripped up an original Elizabethan Camomile lawn and carpeted the front staircase.. which was made out of Spanish ships timbers, think Armada galleon wrecked off the Rye coast!
Shane Lynch of Boyzone was shown the house and the fifteen acres by Gaby Roslin. For the price of two million pounds! The villains have also painted over Tudor woodwork with white gloss and added a gruesome conservatory, oh dear!
But it got worse, for they've put a tiny measily little wood burning stove in the dining room.. into a huge full sized Tudor fireplace which has not one but TWO bread ovens!
She wonders if they know that in the Tudor attics, grain was found that exactly dated this, the oldest, part of the house and it was the first ever example of this grain, found in 1963, being used as insulation.. as determinded by The British Museum. There has been a dwelling on this exact site ever since it was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Ah well, 'they' say that you can never 'go back home', but one thing has made her smile and she reckons the secret will die with her.. and that is this.
No one has found the Tudor (King Henry 8th) Priest Hole.
GeeGee Parrot.
