Historic Building Mythbusting Book Tour at Hoghton Tower

Go to any ancient building 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 country.

James Wright 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.  Enjoy this talk in the the spectacular historic surroundings of Hoghton Tower.
