Join us for an evening of Outrageous Archives.

Our staff spent most of 2019 collecting distasteful names, insulting comments and shocking court cases from our archives to run this event in September last year. This year we have turned the event into an online format to allow even more of you to find out about the stories of Mr Golden Balls, the Vicar of Middleton’s derogatory terms for his congregation and the very unusual name of a 16th century boat in Kings Lynn. The event should last around 45 minutes.

Please note this session includes swear words.
