known about this since i was at school here this place was built as a house originally was part of an enormous estate which covered a very large area
st johns house front
rear elevation showing terrace
east elevation the way down
alley on basement level
this runs under the terrace and has been bricked up for a long time
this old building lies to the northin nearby woods and was used to be called a water tower but i believe it to be an ornamental folly
same building from a different side
the original broke through many years ago and you could see the tunnel running in both directions, this is located right next to the folly
this is where the tunnel is alleged to run too the lower door of appley tower it has an internal staircase running arond the inside of the external wall to a hollow sounding floor accessed it some years ago
i have also included this link which gives some history of st johns house / bishop lovett
