If you were a prisoner in the dungeons,
conditions would be appalling. The only source of light is is a
small cutting high up on the walls. The only drainage is a
single gulley across the floor. If you misbehaved, conditions
could be made even worse. A pulley would lower you down into a
tiny compartment and you would effectively be in solitary
confinement.
There is a haunting message carved out over many
months into one of the walls. It reads "Master John Smyth Guner
to His Majestye Highness was a prisoner in this place and lay
here from 1642 till the ....". Commiserations to Master John
Smyth! |
