More about this scene
Kingswinford has an interesting Roman Catholic connection in Holbeche House, the home in 1605 of Stephen Lyttelton, a friend of Robert Catesby of Gunpowder Plot fame. The house had priest holes where Catholics could hide in times of persecution, and it was to Holbeche that the Gunpowder Plotters fled, only to be captured and killed.
