Eamonn continues his virtual tours of Waterford Treasures on The Big Breakfast Blaa this week, while the museums are closed. Every artefact housed in Waterford has a fascinating story behind it, which gives an insight into life in days of yore. Today, it was all about The Great Charter Roll of 1372, or, as Eamonn describes it, the world's first Powerpoint Presentation.

If you like Eamonn's chats with us on WLR, have a listen here to what he had to say about The Wyse family will during the time of the Bubonic Plague.

And below is his conversation with Ollie and me about the Charter, which was all about making sure Waterford was the biggest port in the South East.
