Halloween Special - The Ghost of Barton Blount Manor

Thursday, October 17, 2024 • Duration 15:35

In this historically themed Halloween special, it's a personal tale from Eli regarding a very uncanny experience that he and his father shared when he was just 10 years old way back in 1993! Not quite a ghost story, but something wonderfully odd and beguiling, it was an experience that, thanks to the wonders of Google Earth, has since kicked up the strangest of possibilities thirty years on from the event itself.

Happy Halloween!

Rites of the Spring - Derbyshire Well Dressing and the Cult of Arnemetia

Season 2 · Episode 9

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 17:21

A spring bonus episode of sorts, recorded for season one but never released, its seasonal theme sees it make it into Season 2...

Well-dressing is much loved local custom which enjoys an almost exclusive patronage in the county of Derbyshire. It’s origins are much debated and appear to be forever shrouded in the deep history of the region’s ancient past, yet when stripping away the layers of the tradition involved in the ceremony and pairing with the country’s Roman history, a startling possibility begins to emerge.

Season 2 · Episode 8

The village of Great Budworth possesses one of the most remarkable churches in all of Cheshire, not just loved by locals but genuinely appreciated by history fans and enthusiasts of late medieval architecture right across the UK.

The Hungry Prophet - The Legendary Sale of Robert Nixon

Season 2 · Episode 7

Thursday, February 1, 2024 • Duration 33:22

The story of Robert Nixon, the 'Cheshire Prophet’ starved to death by the king, was once the best known legend of the county, retold and republished dozens of times across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Precisely who the man was however, has always been something of a mystery, with many assuming he was little more than a fairy tale. Yet research suggests that not only was Robert a real-life figure, but that his bizarre and tragic end might just have been a reality too.

Season 2 · Episode 6

Tuesday, January 23, 2024 • Duration 40:26

There are few more curious associations in local legend than that of Saracen prisoners being settled on the land that is now known as the Staffordshire Moorlands village of Biddulph Moor. Travelling back to the thirteenth century to discover the untold story behind the legend, we reach a place where the adventures of the crusades meet with the dark realities of the medieval slave trade under the patronage of one of the most powerful figures in all of local history.

Invisible Fortress - The Vanishing of Shipbrook Castle

Season 2 · Episode 5

Monday, January 1, 2024 • Duration 33:40

The castle at Shipbrook near Davenham is long lost to us today, its last traces being cleared from the land in the 1790s. However, in balancing the brutal events of early Norman England together with the history of a key local family, not only can we better appreciate this often overlooked corner of medieval Cheshire, but perhaps for the first time, look to understand the story of Shipbrook Castle and its ties to a bloody revolt against King Henry IV.
