My favourite story is the deliberate dark shading that many imitation-gothicky-places put in all the corners of stained glass etc with many theology-based theories about why the mediaevals had done that . . . .
. . . to discover when we started properly caring for the original Gothic cathedrals and cleaning them, that this was dirt, and actually the mediaevals liked BRIGHT PURE COLOURS in their stained glass.
