In Search of Otford Palace: Rivalry, Glory and Ruin with Nick Rushby

<p style="text-align:center;">In this episode of The Tudor History & Travel Show, I welcome Nick Rushby, Secretary of the Archbishop’s Palace Conservation Trust. I chat to Nick about Otford Palace as we uncover its history, why it fell into disrepair, and discover what steps are being taken to preserve its heritage for future generations. As we take a tour of what remains of Otford Palace today, we travel back in time to imagine just how magnificent Otford was at its zenith. Aggrandised to become the most splendid residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, this sprawling manor house welcomed some of the most recognisable names in history. </p> <p style="text-align:center;">If you want to view the show notes associated with this podcast, <a href='https://thetudortravelguide.com/2021/08/14/otford-palace/'>follow this link</a>.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">If you want to find out more about The Archbishop's palace Conservation trust, click<a href='https://otfordpalace.org/'> here</a>. if you want to watch some of the videos of the palace mentioned in this podcast, click <a href='https://otfordpalace.org/background/'>here</a>. if you wish to see my A-Z of Tudor Places video on Otford Palace, click <a href='https://youtu.be/zf1GaUH4uJ8'>here</a>.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">If you enjoyed this podcast and wish to support my work, why not consider becoming a patron of the show.
