Join English Heritage historian Dr Micheal Carter at Castle Acre Priory to discover why medieval monks and nuns wrote so many ghost stories. You can expect tales of tormented souls returning from Purgatory, rotting revenants rising from their graves and devils and demons stalking the precincts of monasteries ready to tempt the unwary into sin and damnation...
This tour is graded as moderate access due to uneven terrain. If the weather is bad we will use indoor spaces where the access is via a narrow, steep, spiral staircase. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
