bewitchingbritain:  There are three places called Windsor in England: Windsor, Berkshire, home to Windsor Castle; Windsor, Cornwall; and Windsor, Lincolnshire. THREE WINDSORS - there will be a quiz on this later.

   The Crooked House of Windsor (built 1592) in Berkshire was originally a market house which acquired its famous tilt due to the use of unseasoned green oak. The house contained a secret passage to Windsor Castle (unsurprisingly this is now blocked) from its basement; reputedly used for illicit meetings between King Charles and his mistress Nell Gwyn.

   Originally a butcher’s shop; this building has served as a jeweller’s, a brewery, an antique shop, and a gift shop; and is presently a tea room. (info crooked-houseofwindsor.com)

This reminds me of the King’s English in Canterbury, I shall dig out a picture :3
