You Enter:  The Great Hall  

***

"the last letter of the 
Name has been written
"

 

The Great Hall was the gathering place of the the entire community in days long gone by - and so it is again, for us.  Here, we can take stock of the progress of the mystery, share our discoveries with others, and launch forth on new challenges.  

We, as part of the trAce Incubation 2 Conference in Nottingham, have taken the challenge of tracking down the disappearance or "death of the book, or the text, or literature as we know it."   Perhaps this is idle rumor, or the suspicion of phantoms, or the dire predictions of cyber/doomsters.  Or it may be that, in the environs of olde Nottingham, we will find the corpse of the corpus - the Book, dead as a doornail.  It is up to us to determine.  

You can take a seat at the Head Table and survey the doings, find out what your fellow sleuths have written, see the sites and look for clues, or you may choose or create a character and begin to search for evidence of the notorious corpse . . . .

 

The Great Hall 

Henry II Built the Great Hall at Nottingham Castle

Our Great Hall is a vast, high-ceilinged room, charming in its medieval simplicity and comfortably devoid of ostentation.   It features aisles in the center of the Middle Bailey.  It was here that Henry II, also builder of Newstead Abbey, would discuss the affairs of State with his barons and members of the clergy and hold Parliament.
