Event Type

Uncovering Folklore, History and Archaeology. A deep dive into commonly believed and repeated stories about historic buildings by James Wright of Triskele Heritage.

Nine themes will be investigated in detail, the myths will be debunked, underlying truths revealed, and there will be a look at how and why tales developed in the first place. These stories include secret passages beneath the landscape, ship timbers in old buildings, spiral staircases twisting clockwise to advantage right-handed defenders, stones in churches used to sharpen arrows, claims to be the oldest pub in the country… and many, many more!
