Joseph Boruwlaski stood three feet three inches tall and performed as the “Little Count” at courts across Europe before retiring to Durham in 1790 — his suit, cane, hat and violin are still on display inside the Town Hall, alongside a life-size statue. The building itself dates to 1350: the Trade Guilds and Freemen of Durham still meet in its Guildhall, and audio guides now walk visitors through the Prince Bishops and the Mayor’s Bodyguard.
