Shrine Tales - Crick Crack Club Performance Storytelling

Join Hugh Lupton & experimental folk duo, Horses Brawl, for a night of miracle cures and superstition at the water’s edge

Throughout early Christian England the shrine of Saint Edmund at Bury St Edmunds and the Holy Well of Walsingham were visited by countless pilgrims (including most medieval monarchs). Many miracles were attributed to the power of these places. Lepers were made clean, the dumb sang, cripples threw away their crutches and danced, the blind opened their eyes, even the dead were revived.

In a performance of stories and music Hugh Lupton, Laura Cannell and Adrian Lever tell the legends behind the shrines… a rich mixture of piety, bloodshed and magic, interspersed with medieval music.
