Muringers and Murage

All around the walls, it seems, repairs are taking place. This is essential maintenance, and sometimes turns up interesting finds, for example the large collection of Roman tombstones on display in the Grosvenor Museum were originally used as infill in the walls, and were discovered when a section was taken down. Menders of the walls were called muringers, and murage was the (sometimes deeply unpopular) tax levied to pay for the repairs.
