Join us this autumn as Samlesbury Hall presents ‘If Walls Could Speak…’ – an illustrated lecture by Paul Hodgetts, the UK’s ‘priest hide’ expert.
Discover what priest hides are, why they were built and learn of the tyrannical Tudor terror that gripped an age of religious turmoil. Who were the priest hide builders? How did they decide where to build hides and discover the secrets of the alleged priest hides found at Samlesbury Hall…
