Bolton Castle: The Yorkshire Prison of a Scottish Queen

<p style="text-align:center;">In February’s episode of the Tudor Travel Show, we travel first to the hauntingly austere Bolton Castle in North Yorkshire, one-time prison of Mary, Queen of Scots. Sarah tours the castle with our guide, Elizabeth Carter, and learns about the castle’s history and its association with Mary. There is also a blog about Bolton Castle and the Vengeful Prisoner of Wensleydale which you can access <a href='https://thetudortravelguide.com/2019/01/19/bolton-castle/'>here</a>.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Continuing our Mary, Queen of Scots theme, in the second half of the podcast, Sarah is in the studio and talking to Lawrence Hendra from the Philip Mould Gallery in London about a rare, contemporary painting of Mary, discovered by Lawrence just a few years ago. There is a blog to accompany this podcast.

This time, we time slip back to 8 February as we hear from our roving reporter in the aftermath of Mary, Queen of Scots execution at Fotheringhay Castle.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Thank you to all those listeners who support my work by becoming a patron of the show.
