Rockingham Castle: A Tudor Transformation From Fortress To Home
Here is a show notes page accompanying this on-location podcast from Rockingham Castle in Northamptonshire. Visited by Henry VII and Henry VIII and Catherine Howard in 1541, Rockingham Castle was once held by the crown. Originally built by William the Conqueror in the late eleventh century as a motte-and-bailey castle, it was later who transformed into a grand Tudor mansion in 1544. Shifting from a medieval fortress into a comfortable family home, Rockingham retains much of its medieval layout, along with some Tudor features.
