‘A medieval mayor and a Leicester murder scandal’
Brothers Walter and John Bushby sought sanctuary in two of Leicester’s medieval churches.
In medieval Leicester, brothers Walter and John Bushby went on the run from the authorities following suspicions they were involved in a terrible crime.
They sought sanctuary in two of Leicester’s medieval churches - perhaps not especially unusual for the time, except that one of the men was a former bailiff and mayor of Leicester, and the crime in question was a scandalous murder of a local man.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester’s Ben Jackson uncovers the story with archaeologist Mathew Morris.
