He says that "the early uses of labyrinths seem to have been as prisons, and as burial places"  When the church took over from the pagan use of labyrinths, it was used as an instrument of penance for non-fulfilment of vows of pilgrimage to the Holy Land.(you had to go round on your knees)  He actually gives a lot of information, several other mazes as well....
