Go to any mediaeval site in the land and you will be presented with many exciting interpretations of the buildings around you.
Spiral staircases in castles giving advantage to right-handed defenders. Grooves in church porches made by archers sharpening their arrows. Secret passages leading from manor houses to nunneries. Blocked doors in churches to keep the Devil out …
Such tales are indeed engaging, but, in some cases, they can also be a little misleading – or absolute myths.
Join buildings archaeologist James Wright from Triskele Heritage as he explains and unpicks the development of these myths and investigates the underlying truths behind them.
