I’ve visited Boscobel House. The priest hole is very evocative. I think the young Charles hid there. (After the oak tree ) While I wouldn’t have wanted to live under the Protectorate, the Stuart monarchs weren’t models of probity but at least Charles believed in fun.

Yes, a priest hole would have been just the place for him to hide!
This is a lovely post. I remember a city called Royal Oak growing up in Michigan but had no idea about the name!
