Not so: “In June 2024, a UK judge ruled that the portrayal of academic Richard Taylor in the film The Lost King, co-written and produced by Steve Coogan, was defamatory”

Agreed. And yet SC is weirdly doubling down www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...
I won’t apologise for The Lost King – Leicester University’s treatment of Philippa Langley is a profound injustice | Steve Coogan
I was sued over my film that gave a voice to the committed ‘amateur’ whose pivotal role in the search for the remains of Richard III was drowned out by louder voices in academia

I’ve never heard of “no ropes days” before - interesting. That would be a bit counter to the reason it was closed in the first place. I’d love to know more! Obviously it was closed for years before EH existed.

I was always getting this when I worked there. “We could walk inside the stones until only a few years ago……“. I think it was ‘78 when the ropes were introduced! They were certainly there on my undergrad field visit in 1980.
