Location Auckland Tower

Starting at Auckland Tower with Mrs Moule, the Bishop’s wife in Victorian Britain, then moving through the Market Place visitors will find out about Elanor Jackson (who may or may not have plotted against the king in 1605), alongside other women who worked, shopped and lived in the Bishop Auckland Market.
