Show Notes
In this episode of The Three Ravens Podcast, Martin and Eleanor explore the myths and legends of County Durham.
With the episode released just after Lady Day, they discuss traditions around hiring fairs and Old New Year's Eve, then dig into the history and folklore of Durham - from the Dun Cow to St Cuthbert's role in the foundation of Durham Cathedral. Then it's time for the main event: Martin's telling of "The Sockburn Worm."
NOTE: Audio on early Three Ravens episodes is a bit sketchy. They improve from about Episode 5 onwards!
