Ed Sheeran back in the news with a fire at his property. Uh huh... Did you know his place has a tunnel? (pizzagatewhatever)

So, Ed Sheeran had a fire at his property. The news now says it was a small fire but initial reports say that it took firefighters 90 minutes to put the blaze out... Fire at Ed Sheeran-ville: Crews tackle blaze at popstar's sprawling £1.5million country estate after heavy smoke fills building

Sheeran already has a giant treehouse, a trendy pod and a hot tub installed in his main garden, along with a covered swimming pool and a barn converted into his own pub complete with urinals and a choice of beer.

Locals have now dubbed the area where he lives as 'Sheeran-ville' because he owns so much property there. ..

.. The fire service could not confirm what caused it and said there will be no further investigation. The millionaire musician plans to build an underground 'man cave' featuring a music room and cinema beneath the grounds of his main farmhouse.

Planning documents reveal how Sheeran's latest project is to have two underground entertainment rooms – a cinema and music room - directly connected to his main house by a six foot wide tunnel. Another set of stairs will link the underground zone to the barn which he has converted into his own private pub. Plans show that his cinema will measure around 35ft by 20ft and his music room will be 25ft by 18ft.

Oh, but we're not done with tunnels yet..

Sheeran lives in the village of Dennington at a property called 'Wynneys Hall' though he has since bought a number of adjoinging properties: https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/ed-sheerans-house-1/view/google/

Secret tunnel - The Dennington Queen pub (formerly the Queen's Head) is rumoured to have a bricked-up tunnel to St. Mary's church (TM282670) - which seems a waste of time, as it's right next door. Source: http://www.visit-framlingham.co.uk/destinations/the-dennington-queen-dennington

Planning documents reveal how Sheeran’s latest project is to have two underground entertainment rooms – a cinema and music room - directly connected to his main house by a six foot wide tunnel. Another set of stairs will link the underground zone to the barn which he has converted into his own private pub. Plans show that his cinema will measure around 35ft by 20ft and his music room will be 25ft by 18ft. The eight foot high rooms and an adjoining toilet will partly extend under the singer’s existing barn and are accessed by a tunnel entrance from a new orangery extension on his farmhouse.

.... When asked about his home, he said: ‘Yeah it’s getting there I’ve built a pub. Like I had a bar before, a bar where you could pour beers but now this has like a selection of beers which is cool. ‘So basically there’s an underground tunnel to get there that you can close off. So if I have a party everyone goes in the pub and no one can get in the house so you get no one, raiding the cupboards or smashing anything. You have to go underground to get to the pub.’

So, why on earth would you want a tunnel to your own pub on your own estate? When coincidentally there are other tunnels close by...

Seems (the supposedly haunted) St Mary's church in Dennington is an interesting place to visit: http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/Dennington.htm

The north chapel is now reserved for quiet prayer, but the south chapel remains Suffolk's most memorable example of a chantry chapel. It contains the Bardolph tombs, which are beautiful...

Then there's the nearby Framlingham Castle with tunnels too (coincidentally)... https://britainexplorer.com/listing/framlingham-castle/

There are reports of a lost tunnel that once stretched from all the way from Leiston Abbey to Framlingham Castle. It is said to have an exit at the site of the former Angel Inn which is on a direct path between the two destinations.

The Castle is reputed to be haunted and many apparitions and eerie noises have been reported by staff and visitors. Numerous visitors have claimed to see glimpses of children wearing ragged old cloths – particularly late in the afternoon. Paranormal enthusiast are quick to make the connection between these apparitions and Framlingham Castle’s history as a poor house.

Something's going on with this guy. Some previous voat posts:

Daily Mail Watch: Latest, frankly odd, article on Ed Sheeran accident has a cheezy pizza video.

André Balazs, owner of Chateau Marmont and the Chiltern Firehouse in London, accused of groping. His properties are where the celebs and young Royals hang out.

Earlier this month, singer Ed Sheeran gave an insight into Beatrice's sense of fun when he opened up about a rumoured incident in which she accidentally injured his face while pretending to knight James Blunt with a sword.

Parham Airfield https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parham_Airfield_Museum

Parham Airfield Museum is a museum in Framlingham in Suffolk, England. The airfield was named after the village of Parham in Suffolk famously linked to the Aldeburgh poet George Crabbe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Crabbe Burke introduced Crabbe to the literary and artistic society of London, including Sir Joshua Reynolds and Samuel Johnson, who read The Village before its publication and made some minor changes. Burke secured Crabbe the important position of Chaplain to the Duke of Rutland. Crabbe served as a clergyman in various capacities for the rest of his life, with Burke's continued help in securing these positions. He developed friendships with many of the great literary men of his day, including Sir Walter Scott, whom he visited in Edinburgh, and William Wordsworth and some of his fellow Lake Poets, who frequently visited Crabbe as his guests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Poets The Lake Poets were a group of English poets who all lived in the Lake District of England, United Kingdom, in the first half of the nineteenth century. As a group, they followed no single "school" of thought or literary practice then known. They were named, only to be uniformly disparaged, by the Edinburgh Review. They are considered part of the Romantic Movement.

The three main figures of what has become known as the Lakes School were William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey. They were associated with several other poets and writers, including Dorothy Wordsworth, Charles Lamb, Charles Lloyd, Hartley Coleridge, John Wilson, and Thomas De Quincey.

When is a paedophile not a paedophile? When, among many other possibilities, he is a fell-walker...

My trip to The Lakes – where there is indeed a wealth of beautiful lakes as well as mountains – also reminded me that I may be far from the only “paedo” who has found it possible to express other aspects of their identity here, including several prominent figures who are known mainly for their poetry, philosophy and love of the region’s natural beauty rather than their sexuality. Famously celebrating that beauty in verse at the turn of the 19th century were the romantic poets William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey, names which are closely associated with two others of particular concern here: Hartley Coleridge, son of Samuel, and Thomas De Quincey, best known these days for his memoir Confessions of an English Opium-Eater.

What is a great deal less well known about De Quincey than his opium addiction (apparently he took the drug medicinally to start with, for the relief of neuralgia), is his love affair with a toddler. An author, journalist and poet himself, De Quincey had “sleepovers” with little Catherine Wordsworth, William’s daughter. She was just a toddler and sadly died at the age of three. De Quincey recorded his grief over her death, writing of his love for her and saying “as it happened that little Kate Wordsworth returned my love, she in a manner lived with me at my solitary cottage; as often as I could entice her from home, [she] walked with me, slept with me, and was my sole companion.” By implication the whole “affair”, written about openly, was conducted with parental permission and was held to be as “innocent” as Wordsworth’s famous daffodils. Perhaps it was, but the language suggests a degree of attachment to the child that would be considered highly suspect today in an adult who was not her parent....

...This is a very familiar story in the literary world, and there have been numerous attempts to explain away Ruskin’s feelings as having nothing to do with paedophilia: as with other child-oriented intellectuals, such as Lewis Carroll, J.M. Barrie, Benjamin Britten and Vladimir Nabokov, the dread diagnosis is always the one that admiring commentators are desperate to avoid.
