This show notes pages accompanies my on-location podcast from Worcester Cathedral. To commemorate the anniversary of the premature death of Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, I have recorded a two-part podcast series.

Rockingham Castle: A Tudor Transformation From Fortress To Home

This show notes page accompanies my on-location visit to Rockingham Castle in Northamptonshire. The Castle was built by William the Conqueror in the late eleventh century as a motte-and-bailey castle. In Tudor times, Rockingham shifted from a medieval fortress into a comfortable family home. In 1544, King Henry VIII granted the castle to Edward Watson. The Watson’s have owned and lived in the castle ever since.
