In this episode we chat to Assistant Community Curator Patrick Bourne about the history of Kirkstall Abbey: the hottest 870 year old you've ever seen.

What's been excavated here? What's been the haps for the last 8 centuries? Where did the monks go for a poo?

We also find out about the ghostly goings on at Abbey House Museum, and write a little love letter to peshwari naan.

The Kirkstall Lives exhibition we chat about is fantastic, and open until December 2022.

If you enjoy the episode, subscribe on all the usual podcast platforms and give us a review on  Apple Podcasts and we'll love you for at least 870 years. That's a promise.
