We begin with a description of the longest siege in English history, before charting the development of the castle from wood to stone, the changes that occurred and the castles most associated with those changes.

Episode 4 Age of Stone

We take a look through the history of Britain's Castle heritage from the pre-Conquest Castles of Edward the Confessor right the way through to how Castles have been remembered by visitors today. Each episode will look at a story associated with the castle and follow it up with a look through the changing nature of them as structures, to the impact they've had on our island story.
