Synopsis

Bungay Heritage Open Days

Historic Building Mythbusting-Uncovering Folklore, History and Archaeology in Bungay.

Event held at Three Tuns Bungay, Earsham Street, Bungay, Suffolk, NR35 1AG

Go to any ancient building in Bungay 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 region.

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…
