  • Northumberland: castles and the borderlands of power

    Northumberland: castles and the borderlands of power
    Apr 16 2026
    A stone knight, an emerging frontier and a story of shifting identity: this time, Amy and her guests explore how the Anglo-Scottish border began to evolve in the centuries following the Norman Conquest, right through to a critical 1237 treaty. English Heritage’s Will Wyeth and Dr Richard Oram from the University of Stirling explain how the people and landscape of Northumberland were critical in shaping this story of competing loyalties, powerful figures and soap-opera style characters, from knights and nobles to bishops and kings.

  • Memories of flowers: a country house and its community

    Memories of flowers: a country house and its community
    Apr 9 2026
    Some blocked plumbing at Brodsworth Hall, a pre-ball dancefloor drama and the fiercely competitive annual May Queen crowning at the local school: these are just some of the stories that emerge from this country house’s ‘floral’ history! This week, Amy is joined by Eleanor Matthews for a joyful celebration of flowers. They’ll listen to the memories of gardeners, housemaids and locals to find out how flowers have connected the house and gardens at Brodsworth to its local community through the decades. What’s more, Brodsworth Hall is continuing this tradition with this year’s ‘Flowers’ season, which invites the public to enjoy this special history–and its present-day incarnation too.

  • The bittersweet history of chocolate

    The bittersweet history of chocolate
    Apr 2 2026
    It might feel like an everyday treat now, but a dip into the history of chocolate reveals a story of global trade, empire, aristocratic tastes and industrial revolution. This week, Amy is joined by food historian Sam Bilton and English Heritage historian Dr Andrew Hann to trace chocolate’s journey from a bitter, spiced drink of status and ceremony to the sweet comfort and ritual we know today. From a commemorative chocolate tin sent to troops in the Boer War through royal courts, chocolate houses and country house kitchens, this chat sweeps through history. We’ll explore what chocolate has meant to people over time: as a medicine, a mood lift and a status symbol. Don’t forget to follow this podcast and leave a review if you love the show.

I love the English Heritage Podcast! It's always an informative and relaxing listen. It really makes me want to visit each heritage site or the person they speak about becomes my new favorite historical figure. I leave each podcast with new knowledge that I'm eager to share with others.

Love this podcast!
