In Issue 05 of Tudor Places, we learn about gardens in Wales during the Tudor period, look at the King’s House at the Tower of London, explore Christ’s College, Cambridge and discover the Tudor history of York Minster. Eltham Palace features as the latest in the lost palaces of Henry VIII series, and we discover the Christ Church Gate, the iconic and much-photographed gatehouse to Canterbury Cathedral which re-opened in November 2022, following four years of extensive conservation and restoration work.

We speak to Professor Suzannah Lispcomb, award-winning historian, author, and broadcaster, about the tangibility of history and how a sense of place helps us to better understand the people and events of history.

Sarah Morris, the Tudor Travel Guide, provides an itinerary for a weekend of haunting ruins, a spectacular castle and immersion in the life of an ordinary Tudor in West Sussex, and Brigitte Webster tells us about the delights of spring, following a very harsh winter, in her Tudor house.

In Last Place, Melita Thomas shares her favourite Tudor places.
