In this episode of The Tudor History &amp; Travel Show, we travel to Shropshire, a landlocked county in the West Midlands. We head to the tiny village of Kinlet, nestled in the rural countryside. Although it once stood next to the Blount's country manor house, today, the parish church of St John the Baptist appears to stand in solitary grandeur on top of a hill surrounded by parkland and green pastures. Inside this enchanting building are some incredible Tudor tombs belonging to the Blount family. I'm joined by Elizabeth Norton, author and historian, and specialist on the Blounts of Kinlet. She shows me around the church and its connection to the Blount family.    To see a gallery of images associated with the places we discuss in this episode, head to the associated show notes page here.

Henry VII

In this episode of The Tudor History &amp; Travel Show, we travel to the Cotswolds.

In this Halloween special episode of The Tudor History &amp; Travel Show, we travel to the Tower of London, whose ancient walls imprisoned some legendary inmates, including perhaps the most famous of all, Queen Anne Boleyn. Joined by Assistant Buildings Curator, Alfred Hawkins, we explore some of the well-known, and much less well-known, nooks and crannies of this notorious fortress/palace and prison.  Some useful links, mentioned in this episode, are below:  To see a gallery of images associated with the places we discuss in this episode, head to the associated show notes page and blog <a href="https://thetudortravelguide.com/2021/05/18/the-burial-of-anne-boleyn/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.

Cowdray House and the Curse of Fire and Water

Anne Boleyn

Happy 10th Birthday ’Le Temps Viendra: A Novel of Anne Boleyn'!  An Extract from the Audiobook   Today marks the 10th anniversary of the first publication of Volume I (of two volumes) of my first Tudor book, Le Temps Veindra: A Novel of Anne Boleyn. The book tells the story of Anne's innocence through the eyes of a 21st-century heroine, drawn back in time and into Anne's body during some of the most dramatic and exhilarating times in her life. To celebrate, I have decided to publish an excerpt from the second volume of the audiobook. I start off this episode though by talking a little about the book and how it came into being before we move into the reading. So, in this 'extra'-ordinary episode, it's time to go on a different time travelling adventure. Grab a cuppa! It's story-time with Sarah...

I love this podcast. She is so knowledgeable, delivers it in a very easy to understand manner. Some podcasters talk too quickly and aren’t as organized with their subjects. She really brings the Tudor world to life! When this pandemic is over, she will be the one I contact to help me with my trip!

Great Tudor podcast!

Hever Castle: In Search of the Boleyn Family Home

Jane Seymour's childhood home, Wolfhall, is sadly lost to time. Thankfully, experts are able to examine underground structures to build a picture of how Wolfhall may have looked during Jane's time there. In my book, In The Footsteps of the Six Wives of Henry VIII, I share more about the history of Wolfhall, and how it may have shaped Jane's character.  To purchase a signed copy of the book, which includes a personal dedication to the person of your choice head to my shop here.    In this episode, The Tudor Travel Show travels first to Great Bedwyn Church, in Wiltshire, to meet with Graham Bathe, an expert on Wolfhall and the Seymours. We learn about some recent research on Sir John Seymour (father of Jane Seymour), which sheds interesting new light on the relationship between Sir John and his daughter. We then move to nearby Wolfhall to catch up on the latest finds from the second year of the archaeological dig to uncover the original Tudor manor house, the ancestral home of the Seymours.   In the second half of the podcast, Sarah is in discussion with Charlotte Bolland, senior curator for sixteenth-century collections at the National Portrait Gallery. Charlotte describes the story of the acquisition and restoration of a fascinating portrait of Jane Seymour, recently purchased by the gallery. This unfinished picture has a riveting tale to tell.

Borthwick Castle & The Daredevil Escape of Mary, Queen of Scots

Elizabeth I

In this month's episode, Sarah speaks with Florence Evans, Director at The Weiss Gallery in London, about an extraordinary portrait of a relatively young Elizabeth. Recently surfaced from private ownership, this hitherto largely unseen portrait is hauntingly beautiful, and shows a deeply contemplative, very human Elizabeth, (before the mask of Gloriana was contrived to elevate her status to that of the untouchable 'Virgin Queen'). We explore the provenance of the painting and just what this has to tell us about this iconic monarch. The blog article accompanying this conversation (containing notes and an image of the picture in question) can be found here.   In the second half of the podcast, Claire Ridgeway, author, blogger and all round Boleyn expert, explores her favourite Tudor destination with Sarah: Hever Castle, in Kent. Listen to Claire's favourite things to see and top tips for planning your visit.   Finally, watch out for our new feature: The Tudor Travel Guide news desk, with all the latest breaking news from the 16th and 20th centuries. Enough to bring a smile to even the dreariest day!

The Extraordinarily Human Face of Elizabeth I: A 'Lost' Portrait Reviewed

In this month's episode, The Tudor Travel Show explores the castle that was built on a love story: Kenilworth, in Warwickshire. In part one, we tour the castle with Volunteer Co-ordinator, Gus Nasser, reimagining the castle at the height of its glory during Elizabeth I's three-week visit in 1575. Part two follows next month. If you wish to read an earlier blog I wrote about Kenilworth Castle, back in March 2018, you can do so here.   In the second half of the podcast, Sarah is in discussion with Professor Susan Doran, from the University of Oxford, about an artefact which has long been the cause of much speculation: the Chequers' Ring, a very personal item of jewellery once belonging to  Queen Elizabeth I. Just what is its story, and who is the mystery woman whose miniature is shown alongside Elizabeth's in the locket? Professor Doran is an expert in all things Elizabeth and her court, and back in the early 2000s co-curated an exhibition in which the ring made a rare public appearance. We hear just what she has to say about this enigmatic object. (Note: The blog article accompanying this conversation, including images, can be found here).    Finally,  The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns, with all the latest July news from the 16th century. This time we report on the dramatic events surrounding the succession crisis of July 1553, and how Princess Mary, claimant to the throne, evaded capture by the narrowest of margins.

Kenilworth: The Castle that was Built on a Love Story

Tudor London

In this extra podcast for July, Sarah visits what remains of the old Priory of St John in Clerkenwell, London. Once a place of enormous power and prestige, with close links to the Crown, today its treasures are preserved in the Museum of the Order of St John. With museum director, Tom Foakes, as our guide, we explore the history of the Order of St John, the story of the priory, and reimagine just what this magnificent building looked like in its hey-day, prior to its dissolution by King Henry VIII in 1540. You will also hear about how you can enjoy the delights of this, one of London's hidden Tudor treasures, including (for summer 2019) a special guided tour by Henry VIII himself.    If you wish to read the blog which accompanies this podcast, click here.

Knole Restored! The Unveiling of a Tudor Power-House

In this month's episode, The Tudor Travel Show goes on location for the first time. In our lead interview, we travel to Collyweston in Northamptonshire to hear from Chris Close, President of The Collyweston Historical and Preservation Society about a new archaeological dig which got underway in May. This is aimed at uncovering more of the story of the now lost palace, once an important Tudor power-house belonging to Lady Margaret Beaufort. The blog article accompanying this conversation (containing images, extra notes and a bonus interview with Sandra Johnson, researcher for the society, can be found here. Details of a special 'Palace Weekend', coming up in August, can also be found in the blog article.)   In the second half of the podcast, Sarah heads off Sudeley Castle, in Gloucestershire, to get all the latest, exciting news from DigVentures, who were just completing the final day of a two week dig in search of a lost Elizabethan banqueting house and garden. Tune in to hear exactly what has been found, and the thrilling plans afoot for next year. If you missed getting involved this year, you won't want to miss this update.   Whilst at Sudeley, Sarah also catches up with Melita Thomas, from the Tudor Times about their latest book release - The Tudor Book of the Garden, which you can purchase here. (Apologies for some minor recording interference during this interview)   Finally,  The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns, with all the latest June news from the 16th century. This time get ready to time travel to Westminster Abbey to witness Anne Boleyn as she is crowned Queen of England.

Penshurst Place: The Gift of a Grateful King

In August's episode, The Tudor Travel Show revisits Kenilworth Castle, in Warwickshire, where we hear about the story of the ambitious project to recreate Elizabeth I' privy garden, a project which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Matt Bulford, of English Heritage, takes us on a tour of the garden and tells just how the garden was just so accurately recreated. If you wish to read an earlier blog I wrote about Kenilworth Castle, back in March 2018, you can do so here.   In the second half of the podcast, Sarah is once again in discussion with Professor Susan Doran, from the University of Oxford, about a pair of portraits which historians believe were commissioned by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in anticipation of the historic visit of Elizabeth I in 1575. But why exactly were the portraits commissioned and why is it probable that Elizabeth never saw them? (Note: The blog article accompanying this conversation, including images, can be found here).    Finally,  The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns, with all the latest August news from the 16th century. This time we travel to Greenwich Palace, in 1533, to witness the celebrations taking place in the Queen's Great Chamber as Anne Boleyn prepares to withdraw from the court in anticipation of the birth of her child.

Eltham Palace: London's Royal, Tudor Nursery

Margaret Beaufort

Last year, The Tudor Travel Show covered the archaeological excavations going on to locate the original position of the now lost palace of Collyweston, in Northamptonshire. In this month's episode, we revisit Collyweston, the Midlands home of Margaret Beaufort, to hear from Rachel Delman, Lecturer in History at York University, about how the palace appeared and was used by Margaret in its hey-day. There is an abbreviated transcript of this chat available on the blog.   In the second half of the episode, Sarah chats with Alden Gregory, Curator of Historic Buildings at Historic Royal Palaces about what turns out to be a fascinating subject: Tudor tents! Alden has been involved in the recreation of part of a royal, Tudor tent, due to be included in the 'Gold and Glory' exhibition at Hampton Court to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Field of Cloth of Gold. Learn about these mini-palaces and how they were used by the Tudor court.  (Please note that this was recorded just as lockdown was getting underway in the UK and so the exhibition has had to be delayed until later - hopefully!)  Finally, The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns with all the latest April news from the sixteenth-century. On this occasion, our roving reporter is live at Greenwich Palace, where Anne Boleyn has just been presented as queen on East Eve, 12 April 1533.…   Thank you to all those listeners who support my work by becoming a patron of the show.

William Cecil

William Cecil, Theobalds and Elizabeth I: Power and Prestige in Elizabethan England

In February’s episode of the Tudor Travel Show, we travel first to the hauntingly austere Bolton Castle in North Yorkshire, one-time prison of Mary, Queen of Scots. Sarah tours the castle with our guide, Elizabeth Carter, and learns about the castle’s history and its association with Mary. There is also a blog about Bolton Castle and the Vengeful Prisoner of Wensleydale which you can access here.   Continuing our Mary, Queen of Scots theme, in the second half of the podcast, Sarah is in the studio and talking to Lawrence Hendra from the Philip Mould Gallery in London about a rare, contemporary painting of Mary, discovered by Lawrence just a few years ago. There is a blog to accompany this podcast. Click here to read a transcript of the interview.  Finally, The Tudor Travel Guide news desk returns with all the latest February news from the sixteenth-century. This time, we time slip back to 8 February as we hear from our roving reporter in the aftermath of Mary, Queen of Scots execution at Fotheringhay Castle.
