  • To commemorate The Battle of Bosworth, fought on 22 August 1485, I recorded a three-part podcast series 'on-location' in Leicester and at the battlefield site.

    In Episode 1, we visit Leicester and visualise the medieval city as we go on a 'walk-and-talk tour of some of the most important sites connected to Richard's time in Leicester before the battle. In Episode 2, we visit the battle site to delve into the events that unfolded there and the key figures involved. In this episode (Episode 3), we explore the aftermath of the battle and follow in Henry Tudor's footsteps as he brings Richard III's body back to Leicester, visiting both the initial site of his burial and that of his later reinternment in Leicester Cathedral.

  • Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast at The National Portrait Gallery to visit Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens, the first major exhibition of historical portraiture to take place since the reopening of The National Portrait Gallery. Focusing on the women who married the infamous Tudor king, the exhibition reunites items that would have last been seen together when in possession of the queens themselves, as well as items that have never been on public display and a sixteenth-century portrait of Katherine Parr that was once thought to be lost.

  • Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast in the county of Gloucestershire at the beautiful Berkeley Castle. One of very few inhabited and fully intact castles in the country, Berkeley Castle remains largely untouched since it was built in stone during the eleventh, twelfth, and fourteenth centuries. It is considered one of the ‘supreme residential survivals of the fourteenth century,’ retaining most of its original features, including doors, arrow slits, windows, and even iron catches.

  • Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast to West Horsley Place in Surrey, southeast England. West Horsley's history dates back to the eleventh century, with a manor house built not long after the Norman Conquest. The present house was originally timber-framed and constructed in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Later, a red-brick façade was fixed to the original Tudor timbers, and Georgian windows were inserted, giving the house its current appearance.

One of the most important examples of intact medieval architecture in Britain, this incredible building has a history that spans nine hundred years.

    Part Two: STIRLING CASTLE This month sees the launch of a special celebration of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, here, on The Tudor Travel Show. Throughout September, I will be publishing one episode a week, as I follow 'In the Footsteps' of this legendary Scottish queen, visiting some of the most historic locations associated with her time in Scotland. Along the way, I will be meeting up with local guides, (many are members of the Marie Stuart Society), who will share their knowledge and passion for Mary and her story.   In this week's episode, I travel to Stirling Castle and meet up with Elisabeth Manson, President of the Marie Stuart Society. Together we explore the royal chapel, great hall and royal apartments of the castle. I talk to Liz about Stirling Castle as Mary's childhood home, as well as hearing about the blossoming romance between Mary and Henry, Lord Darnley, which unfolded at the castle in the spring of 1565. 

    If you wish to read more about the palace and its royal apartments, follow this link.

  • Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast to St David's Cathedral. Home to St David's historic cathedral, the final resting place of its eponymous saint, the patron saint of Wales, it has been a place of pilgrimage and worship for over a millennium. A more picturesque spot for such a venerable building is hard to imagine, nestled as it is in a verdant valley adjacent to the now-ruined Bishop's Palace.

  • Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast to Pembrokeshire in Wales. To commemorate the birth of Henry VII on 28 January 1457, we visit his birthplace: Pembroke Castle, one of Wales's largest and best-preserved castles. It was built on a motte and bailey design around 1093 by Roger of Montgomery, a Norman knight and Earl of Shrewsbury. Although Henry VII never returned to his birthplace, Pembroke Castle symbolised Tudor's Welsh origins.
