It was probably used to conceal the vestmenlt^'r^d the plate used in the mass. The little door is'stf\kickly lined with wood, that the most skilful sounder-*bf panels might knock for ev^r without detecting, tjiig . slightest hollow sound, and it fastens itself whtior- closed b...y a curious and complicated wooden bolt." : One would fancy that Sir Walter must have seen Ufton Court when he wrote " Woodstock.^' Fifty years ago a Catholic priest was, the sole inhabitant of this interesting mansion.
