The manager of the Elizabethon Manor House, an Elizabethon Manor House in Warsesterushair, said that he had a nervous attack when he finally emerged when he emerged.
Film Downing had challenged himself to spend two days in a small hiding place in Harvington Hall to raise money for the building, and successfully completed the work on 18:30 BST on Tuesday.
He said, “When I came out, I had a panic attack. I was not really right and I did not expect a panic attack,” he said.
“I was hoping to recover, but it is a shock to see everyone’s face, fresh air kills you – it really gives you a shock.”
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and James I, priest holes were made in homes to hide Catholic priests through religious harassment time.
The Harvington hall consists of seven of them overall, including a swinging beam hide and bread oven.
While discussing his experience, Mr. Downing said: “It’s very difficult. I had only an apple while I was there and some slices of slices of bread.
“The thing is, it is very dark in there and it’s so dirty that you don’t really want to eat anything, you just want to drink.”
Mr. Downing said that he did not expect it to be “so hot” despite being dressed in only one night shirt.
He said: “There is no natural light.
“There is a viewing window that we blacken, the light bulbs are taken out and the beam, it is not flush for the wall, but what we do is put in a black fabric content all the way, so it completely seals it.
“It is completely black.”
Expanding his health after the challenge, Mr. Downing stated that he was suffering from the shoulder and hand in a throat, as well as a “seriously hurt” cockex bone.
