THE theory that back and knee ailments proved troublesome to our medieval ancestors will be aired at a talk in Durham at the weekend.

Research student Sarah Groves will present a free illustrated talk at the Old Fulling Mill Museum, on the banks of the River Wear, at 2pm on Saturday.

The talk is in conjunction with the museum's running exhibition, An Apple a Day... Health and Hygiene Through Time.
