The Arts Society Leicester: Historic Myths Busting

In his book, Historic Building Myth Busting, the archaeologist James Wright used many case studies from the country to articulate some of the tales which are told about ancient architecture.

This talk will offer the opportunity to investigate a collection of legend which are routinely believed and repeated about historic buildings. The stories will be discussed in detail and their underlying truths revealed. Why is secret passage folklore so popular? Are there timbers reused from maritime vessels in the country? Why are there such weird carvings in the church?
