A Benedictine abbey once whispered secrets to kings in Burton upon Trent. Its silent stones and winding streets hold memories of forbidden feasts and rebellions that shook a kingdom.

Walk with this self-guided audio tour through hidden corners and storied plazas where the city’s most curious tales still echo. Unlock stories behind bustling Coopers Square, sacred St Modwen’s, and tucked-away relics most passersby never notice.

Did royal spies really plot an uprising within these ancient walls? Why do monks’ footsteps still haunt the brewery air on misty mornings? Which scandal at St Modwen’s split the town for generations over the fate of a single sacred relic?

Let each step pull you deeper into centuries of ambition, intrigue, devotion and unexpected twists. Follow drama from cobblestone alleys to grand squares and rediscover Burton in a rush of fresh perspective.

Turn the key on history. The abbey is waiting—dare you listen?
