In October towards the end of the month, to mark the season of Halloween, our evening lantern led tours offer the opportunity to enjoy the Hall by lantern light examining some of our many magical Apotropaic or Witches marks. The tours will shed light on the the events, personal fears and anxieties that may have lain behind their creation as a protection against unknown harm within the context of the medieval and early modern mindset – a time very different from our own.
