The Medieval Medicines tour at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden invites participants to learn about historical medical practices used by monks. The tour covers herbal remedies and the training of medieval doctors, providing insights into healthcare of the time. Admission is required, and the tour runs on selected dates.
Join our volunteer tour guide and explore the strange, surprising and sometimes sinister world of medieval medicine at Fountains Abbey.
Uncover how the monks cared for the sick, from herbal remedies grown in the gardens to treatments that might seem bizarre (or even dangerous) today. Learn how medical knowledge was passed on and how doctors were trained.
Along the way, your guide will reveal what treatments may have worked, which were based on superstition, and how medieval healthcare compares to what we know today.
Head to Porter's Lodge at 1.30pm to meet your tour guide.
