Hidden in the roof of a church, a 300 year old herb garret houses the only surviving 19th century operating theatre, complete with wooden operating table and observation stands, from which spectators witnessed surgery performed without anaesthesia or antiseptics. The oak beamed garret was also used for the storage and curing of medicinal herbs.
