  • The Last Voyage | Sutton Hoo

    The Last Voyage | Sutton Hoo
    Jul 23 2025
    Embark on the last voyage of an Anglo-Saxon burial ship and learn how its discovery changed our understanding of a civilisation. In 1939, archaeologists uncovered a “ghost ship” under the acidic sandy soil of Sutton Hoo, in Suffolk.

    Now, presenter James Grasby reimagines the last journey of that vessel, and who was aboard, as it was hauled from the water and dragged to its final resting place some 1,400 years ago.

    Listener note: a version of this episode first went out in 2023 on the National Trust Podcast.

  • Roman Chariot Racing | The Prasina Stone

    Roman Chariot Racing | The Prasina Stone
    Jul 9 2025
    What does Formula One and chariot racing have in common?
    High speed and high thrills races are something we usually think of when we’re chatting about Silverstone or the Grand Prix.
    Celebrity drivers, highly engineered teams and arenas of fans might seem like a modern scene. But thanks to a piece of ancient graffiti carved into stone at a Roman villa, a window into a world over 2000 years ago is opened, one that sees chariot racers competing on an industrial scale.

    James Grasby heads to Chedworth Roman Villa to find out what the Prasina Stone can tell us about sports today.
