Episode Inside A Medieval Leper Colony
Come back with us to a Medieval leper colony.
What was life really like for patients inside the gates? What did it mean when the 'leper bell' rang? And what happened at a 'living funeral'?
Join Anthony and Maddy as they separate popular myth from fact, taking you through a typical day inside a leper colony in medieval Europe.
This episode was edited by Tim Arstall. Produced by Freddy Chick and researched by Phoebe Joyce.
