Go to any ancient building in Nottinghamshire 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? -Archaeologist and author James Wright will be speaking about his new book Historic Building Myth-busting. Secret passages linking ancient buildings, spiral staircases giving advantage to right-handed defenders, ship timbers used for building, or blocked doors in churches to keep out the Devil - James will explain the development of such myths and the underlying truths behind them.
