Description

Hi! I'm Philippa, welcome to the British History Channel.


In this episode I sat down with Emma Miller of Grimsthorpe Castle to talk about its history, the famous people who have lived and visited here and a very curious window/door which, legend has it, was made for Henry VIII's visit in 1541.


I will be here in September 2025, alongside Gareth Russell for 'The Catherine Howard Tour,' run by British History Tours, as we trace the journey of Catherine Howard and Henry VIII as they make their progress north, in 1541.

I'd really appreciate your help in making this show the best it can be. I know time is precious but if you do have 10 minutes you can spare to fill out this anonymous listener survey, I'd be really grateful - http://bit.ly/britishhistorypodcast-survey
