Eleanor
De Singleton was born and lived all her life in this room. She was confined to
this room night and day for seventeen years. She then died suddenly. There are
two theories how. She may have died in childbirth or she may have been
poisoned. There are no records of how she died, but there is a death
certificate written in Latin. I cannot read Latin so I don’t know what happened
here!
It is
not a fireplace; instead it was a small hole in which a child was placed to
listen in on secret conversations. The child would have been hidden behind a
fireguard or something similar.
There
is also a priest hole in this room. It is believed to be big enough for two
people and is against one of the outer walls.
