She says Arondel not Arundel!

This was a fascinating episode. Both Sheila Charrington and her husband deserve much praise and many thanks for preserving and caring for such a stunning piece of Tudor architecture. I was most interested to hear her theory regarding the deterioration that took place in the King's behaviour after Henry Marney died. Although historians concentrate on the year 1536, as well as the jousting accident, I think Sheila Charrington is correct. Under Henry the Seventh the collective skills of men such as Marney, Lovell, Cutts, etc., built a strong administrative foundation that was overseen by the King. Without the governmental infrastructure these men created, I doubt Wolsey would have been able to step into the role he did with such ease which, in turn, led to young Henry having more time for pleasure. Lord Marney, both as an administrator and 'father like' figure to Henry the Eighth is a truly important historical figure who is often forgotten - possibly because he managed to survive. Many thanks Sarah for sharing this enjoyable visit.

I lived and grew up in thornbury castle, went to school near the castle. Oddly not one person there seemed to care about it. As an adult I am more interested. Lots of interesting facts thank you.

South east? It’s about 4 miles from the Severn

Hello..im in myrtle beach sc

Greqt host and even so great guest.. thank you ladies from Athens

Really sorry I missed this 'live', not only was Nicola Clark an excellent guest, but interesting questions also. Many thanks Sarah.

This is fascinating.

Hello Sarah, watching on KZbin now .

Thanks for a very interesting chat on a book I am currently reading!

Great podcast. I wish I could actually see you visit as well as listen.

I’m a descendant of the Howard family too. That’s what brought me here. x

I lived on Sheppey during my A Levels. One summer we went exploring Shurland Hall with some friends, who had just learned to drive. It wasn't being renovated and was still rather tumble-down. There were no floors left at all, you could see where fireplaces had been etc. The fish pond was large. Not much left to renovate really! This was probably 1990, 1991.

Very, very interesting! I’m going to watch it a second time. I’m planning to visit this church and gateway when I’m in London in December.

I was fascinated by the historical history of our country. History was my favourite subject at school.

I noticed you are uploading videos daily on your channel. your channel is not getting good views even after having 16.4K subscribers. Have you ever thought about it ? But it is possible to bring better views to your channel,,,,

This 'Road to Bosworth' trilogy has been exceptional. Many thanks to all who contributed and also, thank you Sarah for the accompanying 'show notes'.

No wonder Leicester cathedral wanted the remains of the old king. What a cash cow it reminds me of when the cathedrals used to have relics of the old saint's to bring in money from the pilgrims. I really liked your 3 part pod casts on the anniversary of the Battle of bosworth field

Fabulous

Many thanks Sarah for this fascinating second episode of 'The Road to Bosworth'. Also, a big thank you to Harry Marr, whose inspirational narrative brought the field of battle and it's surrounding topography vividly to life.

It just proves that you can not trust anyone

This was a terrific broadcast. It managed to strip away time and conjure up the tense atmosphere that must have prevailed the night before the battle. Sarah, I thought the 'city sounds' in the background worked really well - almost like echoes from the past generated by Richard's men mixing with the townsfolk. Many thanks to Steve Bruce for his excellent narrative and many thanks Sarah for producing this great podcast - looking forward to part 2.

Get to the point

Nothing brave about Cranmer he was just another surrender heretic

henry 8 was a cruel,heartless, self-absorbed, monstrous despot. He betrayed God, the Church, his wife, his daughter, many mistresses, his illegitimate daughter, his friends, and about 60 or 70 thousand of his subjects.

I just found this because I’m so interested in the history of the Mary Rose. It was a fascinating ship, and had been retrofitted with new cannons which could’ve been one of the major factors in syncing the ship. Due to the enormous weight.

Sarah . Do you have a newsletter that I can sign up . And please do more videos that you used to do. Could do one in Ipswich where wolsey was born .

So much vicious judgementalism and cruelty ~ in the name of religion. Then, & later, and still.

I am a descendant of Anne Berkeley and John of Gaunt through his 3rd wife and the Cliffords and Dennis families.

I agree 💯 per cent with what Owen said Henry wore Anne he was like a love sick school boy showering her with gifts and love letters poor Anne must have felt suffocated by his constant chasing also her Father Thomas Boleyn made matters worse by more or less forcing Anne to yeild to Henrys advances

As someone who is unable to attend the National Portrait Gallery's 'Six Lives' exhibition, I really enjoyed this broadcast. Charlotte Bollard was such an interesting and informative guide, I will certainly be listening to this podcast again. Many thanks Sarah.

Noiice :>

i found out today the 1st baron is my 18th great grandfather!

Thanks Sarah . Amazing young lady.

1068. The then king Henry the 1st. ??? Do you mean William the 1st aka William the conqueror. I’m pretty sure he died in 1088 but could be wrong.

Some of the tunnels under the castle were used as pistol ranges by local clubs and the police. They were blocked off when the area around Robin Hood’s statue was renovated recently.

What a beautiful job Dr(Sarah)!! I liked your position as well! Our glorious heroes friends of our Lord Jesus!

Cynthia ❤

Many thanks Sarah - Claire Martin is and exceptionally interesting and informative guest. Really enjoyed this broadcast.

I just learned that I am related to the lineage of this castle. Very interesting history. Thank you for sharing.

hi from Cornwall.

“Play the man” 😢♥️ thank you Jesus, for these early church fathers of the reformation. May their example, continue to shine a light on our faith, today.

Wonderful.

We tune in to see the building not this lady stuck in front of the screen,just a terrible videoc couldn't watch it

How interesting. The Ecce Homo after Il Barbieri caught my attention! Odd surely for a 19th century church in England. If the Church is of that date????

Absorbing - so interesting. I applaud your tenacity.

Keep your hands still so annoying

Vorrei ricordarvi che esiste anche la lingua italiana!

Thank you Sarah for broadcasting this interesting and enjoyable podcast, as with all your tours, the guide was excellent.

It is a crime when poncy individuals come along who have zero interest in history and yet decide to change the very fabric of our heritage. This home should be protected structurally and visually forever!
