Castles have held a pivotal place in British life, many of them remaining today as powerful reminders of our history and sources of inspiration. But castles were also homes and status symbols as well as hubs of life, activity, and imagination.
In today’s edition of Gone Medieval, Matt Lewis discusses the castle’s early manifestation in the Middle Ages with John Goodall, whose new book The Castle: A History weaves together the history of the British castle from the eleventh century to the present day.
The Senior Producer on this episode was Elena Guthrie. It was edited and produced by Rob Weinberg.
