The period 1559 to 1829 is referred to as the 'Penal Times' when considering the history of Roman Catholicism in England and Wales. It was during this period that Roman Catholicism was subject to legal restrictions. The Mass was banned in 1559. Priests were often passed off as Servants or Tutors. Being a Priest or hiding one in your home could result in your death by being hung, drawn and quartered.
Roman Catholicism in England and Wales largely retreated into country houses and well to do households. Known Catholic households were subject to being raided by the local militia in the search for the illegal celebration of the Mass and the harbouring of Priests. Until 1700 these laws were periodically actively enforced.
In the event of a raid it was necessary for any Priests to be hidden in "Priest Holes" such as this one. It is not possible to stand up in here. It might have been necessary for up to four men to hide in this space for up to four days. The holes at Baddesley Clinton are believed to have been built by St Nicholas Owen. He was considered to be a skilled carpenter in that he could make the Priest Holes difficult to find. It is likely that some of his Priest Holes have as yet not been discovered. St Nicholas Owen refused to divulge details of the houses where he had work despite being tortured on the rack.
Prior to 1778 it was not possible for a Roman Catholic to to inherit or own land unless an oath of loyalty was taken. Life Imprisonment for keeping a Catholic School was also removed. In 1791 it was possible to hear Mass, operate a Catholic School, join the military and the legal professions provided that an oath of loyalty was taken. In 1829 most of the remaining legal restrictions were removed. Catholics were permitted to sit in the British Parliament and to vote at elections.
