Ever wonder why we wear weird clothes? To create immersion that helps transport customers to another time. Live History is the only group in Lancaster where its guides have their own, detailed character backstories that blend theatre with real history. Johnny and Algernon Eccleston may be fictitious but there were real people living and working in Lancaster two centuries ago with the surname Eccleston that appear in parish registers. Find out more about what we do by visiting our website www.livehistory.co.uk and experience the past!
