Secret Rooms And
Records in Old Inn

London, Nov. ga. P. by MaiD-
An old posting inn of to ancient VII
lage of Much Hadham in Hertford-
shire, once a favorite resort of Queen
has been declared to be
the Oldest hostelry in England. II
was recently ascertaine1 that the old
building, venerated because OF its
royal associations, had been a land
mark for several hundred years when
the Tudor Queen visited 1t. In the
time of William the Rufus. late elev-
cnth century, parts of the old inn
were then outposts of a neighboring
castle and used to house travellers
who passed through the district.
When q new proprietor came to the
inn a short time ago, in making re-
pairs to the walls. they were found
to be covered with canvas which hid
a wealth of rich old panelling and
carved work. Behind a section or
papere.i canvas in the dining room
o. secret staircase was found which
led to an apparently secret room. A
collection of bones lay in dusty
heap at the foot of the stairs. In
this room. in peeling off the so lay
ers of paper and canvas which COW
cred the wall, several old cupboards
and small closets were found IN
which old records and papers were
piled. 1t was in deciphering these
that the early history of the place
became known.
The papers made frequent refer
ences to Queen Elizabeth. sometimes
recording her arrival there with
party of friends. sometimes with her
court and occasionally with. only one
or two companions. AS Sir Walter
Raleigh also Is known to have fire.
quented the place, 1t is supposed
that the queens companion on some
occasions was her sailor favorite.
Opposite the inn is an old palace OF
the Bishops of London. which was
also visited by Queen Elizabeth, and
the village is surrounded by grove
Of lime trees, some planted by the
queen.
The inn is being restored as nearly
as possible to its Elizabethan condi-
ton and many of the rooms will be
used as museums.
