What's this medieval badge doing in a medieval sewer? 🍒
One of Salisbury Museum's most mysterious finds is a medieval badge featuring a hood stuffed with cherries – discovered in the city's disused drains. But what did it really mean?
Join author and illustrator Amy Jeffs to uncover the hidden meanings of this extraordinary object. From apocryphal gospels to mystery plays, from medieval costume to the lost cherry trees of Salisbury's past, Amy will reveal how a single badge connects us to centuries of hope, creativity and the medieval imagination.
Amy Jeffs is an author, artist and medievalist whose books include Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain, Saints, Wild and Old Songs.
Members £12, non-members £15
