Invisible Fortress - The Vanishing of Shipbrook Castle
Manage episode 392813988 series 3362105
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.
A Cestrian Song - Explorations With the Extraordinary Hinterland of Cheshire History is available here!
