The Blounts of Kinlet & Their Incredible Tombs

In this episode of The Tudor History & Travel Show, we travel to Shropshire, a landlocked county in the West Midlands. We head to the tiny village of Kinlet, nestled in the rural countryside. Although it once stood next to the Blount's country manor house, today, the parish church of St John the Baptist appears to stand in solitary grandeur on top of a hill surrounded by parkland and green pastures.

Inside this enchanting building are some incredible Tudor tombs belonging to the Blount family. I'm joined by Elizabeth Norton, author and historian, and specialist on the Blounts of Kinlet. She shows me around the church and its connection to the Blount family.

Happy 10th Birthday ’Le Temps Viendra: A Novel of Anne Boleyn'!

An Extract from the Audiobook

 

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the first publication of Volume I (of two volumes) of my first Tudor book, Le Temps Veindra: A Novel of Anne Boleyn. The book tells the story of Anne's innocence through the eyes of a 21st-century heroine, drawn back in time and into Anne's body during some of the most dramatic and exhilarating times in her life.

To celebrate, I have decided to publish an excerpt from the second volume of the audiobook. I start off this episode though by talking a little about the book and how it came into being before we move into the reading. So, in this 'extra'-ordinary episode, it's time to go on a different time travelling adventure. Grab a cuppa! It's story-time with Sarah...

Sutton House in London’s Hottest Borough: A Tudor Place Like No Other

In this episode of The Tudor History & Travel Show, I take a tour of Sutton house in Hackney. Joined by our tour guide,  Jo Nightingale, we look around the house once owned by aspiring Tudor courtier, Sir Ralph Sadler. Sutton House was built for Sir Ralph and his family as his fortunes were on the rise. Described as a ‘small gentry house’ and one that has ‘no direct parallels’, Sutton House is utterly unique.

The Battle of Stoke Field: A Battlefield Walk with Kevin Winter

In this episode of The Tudor History & Travel Show, I head over to the Nottinghamshire countryside to visit the much-overlooked site of the Battle of Stoke Field. I am joined by Kevin Winter from the Battlefields Trust, as we take a walk around the site of the final battle in the Wars of the Roses. Kevin shares the story of the bloody battle, which saw 7000 men slaughtered in one day and brought an end to the Wars of the Roses. Put your boots on, it's time to go for a stroll!
