Talk:Little Ease

Untitled
"While there is some doubt that the cell was ever used to house prisoners, there is no reason to doubt this either" sourced to a 1924 popular book. There are sources for at least the Elizabethian period mentioning it as being used. Dome mroe modern references are needed.  DGG ( talk ) 04:07, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Mediaeval etymology
WP:BRD:
 * 1) At present the origin is given as: "ease", which was a medieval word for a small, confined space. The attached  tag was removed. According to the authoritative and comprehensive OED, ease never bore this meaning. As the tag had been in place for a while I'm suggesting that this sentence may now be deleted.
 * 2) The reliably referenced information (OED again) about the Little Ease cell in London's Guildhall was removed without explanation. It should go back.

Any views?
