About this audio guide
This guide to Speke Hall in Liverpool starts at a small hole in the eaves above the old front door, and follows the Catholic Norris family through the years when their faith was an offence under Elizabeth the First. You'll meet Edward Norris and his wife Margaret, the recusant circles they moved in, and the fines that followed them. Best heard standing in the courtyard, facing the entrance.
