How did people really respond to medieval leprosy? (Patreon)

As we look back on our latest excavation, we wanted to share a short video featuring some fascinating insights from Professor Carole Rawcliffe of the University of East Anglia.

In this video, Carole explores how people in the medieval world understood and responded to leprosy, offering a glimpse into the experiences and attitudes of the time. She also shares how she first became interested in the subject and what led her to dedicate her research to this important area of medieval history.

We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the history behind our latest excavation!
