I had a mooch today around the garden but no sign of anything as its a forest of nettles and brambles - im currently covered in nettle stings and my legs look like I wear barbed wire pantaloons. re. the smugglers tunnel, I got to thinking on my way home that the tunnel is more likley (if there is one) to be a passage to the church which is spitting distance from the house. These are not uncommon in old dwellings around the reformation and later I have heard of well to do families not wanting to walk with the hoy polloy would dig themselves a route from a basement to the crypt. To cut a tunnel to garston isnt impossible (mother redcaps baltic fleet etc) but it is one hell of an undertaking.



Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.
