Lincoln dig to unearth the lost world of medieval leprosy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has long been thought of as one of the most feared diseases in the medieval world. Leprosy was capable of inspiring religious debate and, for those who bore its symptoms, reshaping their place in society.

Read excerpt
Villagers believe a water leak is wasting about 8,600 litres a day during a hosepipe ban.

Inside the private gardens bringing Victorian charm to busy Hull (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nestled near the heart of a busy city lies a cluster of hidden gardens in the leafy calm of a Victorian suburb. Sunlight drifts through climbing roses and tall foxgloves, warming brickwork that has watched generations come and go. Behind the garden gates, residents wait with a quiet pride, ready to share spaces usually kept private. The Avenues Open Gardens event, in Hull, is marking its 50th anniversary.
