What Is Imperidox? Exploring the Strange Side of History

Imperidox is a place for those who are drawn to the hidden corners of the past. Created in the UK by historian and storyteller James, it explores the curious, the forgotten and the beautifully strange stories that history has left behind.

Through travel, research and creative storytelling, Imperidox takes readers beyond the classroom and into the real world. Each story is rooted in real places and real history, from ruined abbeys and ancient monuments to myths and traditions that still shape our lives today.

The Imperidox History Letter Club brings this idea to life through the post, with letters written from historical destinations, art prints, telegrams and Polaroids that capture the spirit of each place.

Imperidox is more than a history project. It is a journey of curiosity and wonder, inviting you to explore the stories that make the world mysterious, meaningful and endlessly fascinating.
