The Castles of the Midlands
10.30-11.30am
Thursday 14th May
(Dr Mark Barnard)
DAY TALK £5.00
Across years of war and struggles, castles have been built, defended and destroyed. Some have been lost, discernible only by ridges left on the land. But many remain and are full of stories. Perhaps some of us for instance have visited Nottingham or Newark Castles? But why exactly were they built and who played a formative role in their stories? What truth lies behind the myths and legends? How did Nottingham - a favourite of King John’s and Dudley castles feature in national events? From Nottingham to Peveril.
Join Dr Mark Barnard to hear their role in this fascinating part of our history...
