The A-Z of Tudor Places: Cawood Castle

When Henry VIII and Catherine Howard visited Cawood Castle in 1541, after several centuries of continuous occupation, it was nearing the end of its eventful history. The once bustling medieval village of Cawood frequented by kings, queens, princes and archbishops now rests quietly. To discover more about this important site, I explore its medieval history in my book 'In The Footsteps of The Six Wives of Henry VIII'.

This video is The Tudor Travel Guide's brief overview of the historic Cawood Castle in North Yorkshire, once the archiepiscopal palace of the Archbishops of York, scene of the arrest of Cardinal Wolsey.
Hear about its history, appearance, some of the notable Tudor events that took place there and how you can stay at the castle!

Great to get more info after reading about this obscure location. Thanks again for another great vid, your my favourite channel. Can’t wait for more.

[@Lafeolamom]

I don’t know why I am absolutely infatuated with the Tudors. Thank you for your channel.

[@stevejohnstone5163]

I’m the same, I think of how I would handle living in that time, but that’s what makes it so great.

[@bendakstarkiller9923]

My last name is actually Cawood and I have been to the village of Cawood My family pronounce the name more like Kaywood

[@memebiko2960]

Yes I lived in the next village Kelfield and we always pronounced it Kaywood....

[@rosemarydarrah-king4380]

Thanks Sarah. At this time of lockdown, its great to travel virtually with you. Much appreciated

[@BestFr0mTheMidwest]

My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Caywood. After researching and dna testing I found my Cawood ancestors!

[@adamcleveland9769]

I want to say at Cawood Castle for a week at some point in the future. I think it would be interesting to walk through some history.

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Very interesting Sarah. Thank you 👍 I wasn't familiar with Cawood prior to this video. I was familiar with the arrest of Wolsey but hadn't made the connection between Cawood and Wolsey. Very sad hearing of castles been left to decay, especially those so important to Tudor history. The English Civil War period was a terrible time. Cawood sounds like quite the sight in it's heyday. That little street scene of York was gorgeous, looks so historic, charming and compact. Reminds me of something you would see in an old Christmas card.

[@jcattanach05]

As others have mentioned it's pronounced Kaywood. I'm lucky to live opposite it.

[@lucypokes]

Your videos are such a help to me during quarantine. Thank you ❤️

[@colleencox2927]

Dear Sarah, thank you for imparting this fascinating knowledge with such enthusiasm. It is always a pleasure to explore the Tudor past with you!

[@baskerville101]

Great video but you pronounce the village, KAY-WOOD.

[@baskerville101]

No, I live here and am on the council. Certainly Kay-wood. It would be akin to me calling Hampton Court, Hanton Court, just because I didn’t live there.

[@bendakstarkiller9923]

I can confirm it is pronounced kaywood It is my last name and I have visited the village a few times while visiting England

[@adamcleveland9769]

Can confirm also

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Great video, thanks. The size of the ceiling timbers in the gatehouse is incredible. They built those places to last.

[@isabelherrera8647]

Once again, I really enjoyed the video! Thanks! Also, I love the chair behind you 😊

[@lesleyanncawood5466]

Can't watch it anymore cause she pronounces our name wrong lol

[@blueeyedbehr]

i completely agree. it is not pronounced coward. it is pronounced CAYwood.

[@pauljohnson4525]

Its not Carwood its Cawood ...... like Kawood lol
