Tour Announcement
Raglan Castle, where Henry VII spent his early childhood, will be featuring in an exciting new tour for 2024!
‘The Rise of the Tudors’ Tour will visit historically fascinating and enthralling locations. This tour takes you far away from London, into the Wales and the Border Counties to places you will have heard about many times. Place such as Pembroke Castle, where Margaret Beaufort gave birth to the future Henry VII, and Ludlow Castle where the ill-fated Arthur Tudor took his new wife, Katherine of Aragon.
The full itinerary for this 6 night/ 7 day tour will be released soon. Bookings for this tour, which will take place from Saturday 21st - Friday 27th September 2024, will open to Patrons on Sunday 18th June, and to everyone else the following Sunday, 25th June.

I have some incredible historians lined up, talking about fascinating topics, over the next couple of months.

You can put your questions to Gareth and Nicola in the British History Patreon.
Peasant’s Revolt starts heating up, 1381, Henry VIII marries Jane Seymour, 1536, and Charles II returns to England, 1660.

Hiya Philippa,
Hope you're well. Been away, again. I've given up on patreon, they could never sort out their payment system. I'm very glad you're on this platform.
Cheers,
Terry
