The present house was designated as the base for the British government in the plans drawn up for moving it out of London in the event of a German invasion in the Second World War.Once I Was A Clever Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367322665145704342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881811987987045711.post-62813591701406742382012-01-24T15:53:36.652+00:002012-01-24T15:53:36.652+00:00Thanks.

The present Hindlip Hall is the headquarters of the West Mercia Constabluary but I believe that an underground tunnel in brick and thought to be of Tudor provenance was discovered in the grounds back in the 1970s or thereabouts. It would be wonderful if something of St Nicholas Owen's work had survived at the site!Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881811987987045711.post-88160931191463435202012-01-24T13:50:23.979+00:002012-01-24T13:50:23.979+00:00March 2nd is his date od death, but this is the ap...March 2nd is his date od death, but this is the appointed date in the Birmingham archdiocese - I think they must have chosen the date of his capture at Hindlip Hall in 1606.Once I Was A Clever Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367322665145704342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881811987987045711.post-48085495850400878682012-01-23T23:09:43.160+00:002012-01-23T23:09:43.160+00:00I thought St Nicholas Owen's feast day was 2nd...I thought St Nicholas Owen's feast day was 2nd March.Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.com
