Mythbusting with James Wright
Historic Building Mythbusting. Go to any ancient building in Staffordshire and there will be interesting, exciting, and romantic stories presented to the visitor. They are commonly believed and widely repeated – but are they really true?
These stories include those of secret passages linking ancient buildings, spiral staircases in castles giving advantage to right-handed defenders, ship timbers used in the construction of buildings on land, blocked doors in churches which are thought to keep the Devil out and claims to be the oldest pub in the region. James will explain the development of such myths and investigate the underlying truths behind them. Sometimes the realities hiding behind the stories are even more interesting, romantic, and exciting than the myth itself…
Please note:
- Meet at visitor reception gazebo.
- The event will be held indoors although there is a short walk from the car park to the venue.
- There are 18 steps between car park and venue.
- Suitable for older children.
