In this guide, we travel to Rutland, England’s smallest county. Covering only 147 square miles, this rural county nevertheless boasts some glorious countryside and a diverse and fascinating array of heritage locations. We discover its Tudor history and connections.
This show notes page accompanies my on-location visit to two sites in Leicestershire: Groby Old Hall and Bradgate Park. With links to the Grey family, Bradgate Park was the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey, granddaughter of Mary Tudor (sister of Henry VIII) and Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk.
In this episode, I head to the city of Leicester as we travel back to August 1485 and the Battle of Bosworth. Joined by our guide, Steve Bruce, we visit some of the main sites associated with Richard III’s time in the city.
