Episode 29 - Hartlebury Castle, Worcestershire

CavalierCast - The Civil War in Words

Send us a text

Hartlebury Castle was the home of the Bishops of Worcester for centuries. But in 2022, a chance meeting between historian, Doug Smith, and archaeologist, Tim Cornah led to a whirlwind excavation that brought the civil war back to Hartlebury.
The sights, sounds and smell of the period were re-enactment by the Sealed Knot in July 2023, while an excavation trench revealed a civil war bastion. Doug and Tim tell me more ...

▪️ What sparked Doug's interest in how Hartlebury had been defended during the civil war?
▪️ What learnings and insight can be taken from the bastion and what else might still lie unearthed?
▪️ How do the finding help us understand more about civil war Hartlebury?
This podcast looks at anything and everything to do with the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which is very much an overlooked part of our history. Hopefully CavalierCast can help change that.
To find out more about the wars, you can read various articles relating to it on my blog: http://www.1642author.com
