A former musician himself, Barry agreed with John Priest that the sounds of medieval music coming from inside the church may be a recreation of the funeral music played on the occasion of Edward, the Duke of York’s funeral. The grandson of Edward the Third, he was killed at the battle of Agincourt in 1415 and later buried at Fotheringhay.

Many, including a local Fotheringhay police sergeant, have heard the haunting music. “The emotions relating to this event may have been so powerful that they fixed an imprint of the music in the walls of the church, ” Barry said. This might be likened to modern methods of recording imprints of music onto tape or CD.
