Special collections manager Dr. Hannah Thomas holds a crucifix, the only known item to survive of the thousands seized during the raids on Catholic houses following the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, that is on display at "Hide & Seek: The Aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot" a new exhibition at the Bar Convent Heritage Centre in York. The crucifix belonged to Father Edward Oldcorne who, despite being found innocent of any involvement in the Plot, was hanged, drawn and quartered in 1606 because he was a priest - a treasonous act at the time.
