'Founding Fathers of England Part 2' Episode 23 'FPTK Revisited'
🕑 Added 2025-01-16 17:00:07 +0000 UTCWelcome to our 'Favourite Places to Knit - Revisited' collection
In this re-edited edition of an adventure we took you on in 2016, join us at Middleham Castle. This episode is the perfect prequel to 'The Rise & Fall of the Monasteries'. Middleham Castle lies in Yorkshire and it has fascinating links to two of Englands most important Kings. In this episode we explore the story of the last 'The Plantagenet' kings. Along the way we explore the castle and discover how the 'Tudors' claimed the English throne.
