The team of Moyse’s Hall is very pleased to welcome back Dr Francis Young for a very unique talk.
In this talk Dr Francis Young introduces the folklore of Suffolk, from the Green Children of Woolpit and Old Shuck to the Wild Man of Orford and Tom Tit Tot, exploring how Suffolk's stories have evolved over the centuries and the sources for much of what we know and love about the county's folklore.
Suffolk's folklore was first recorded in the Middle Ages but it continues to evolve today, in modern stories such as the Rendlesham Incident and 'big cat' sightings, and it embraces not just traditional stories but also traditional songs, dances, performances and crafts. Suffolk has a rich and colourful (and sometimes dark) folklore that expresses the essence of a unique county.
