Danish Skin from Worcester Cathedral Door
Subject
Archaeological remains
Description
A special display in the Cathedral Library.
A piece of text beneath the exhibit piece says:
"Possibly evidence of the truth of the legend that a Dane was flayed alive for stealing the Sanctus bell of the monastery. This was recently analysed and carbon-dated which shows that it is human skin of the right period."
