Episode 95 – The Weird of the Walfords by Louisa Baldwin
Who would win in a fight between a man and a bed? Find the answer to this question and more in our new episode on The Weird of the Walfords by Louisa Baldwin! Also, if you like emotionally-repressed Victorian husbands, you will not leave disappointed.
Show notes:
Louisa was a member of an illustrious family who included Rudyard Kipling and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
You can read this story and others form the same volume on Google Books.
There are a number of stately homes in England with similar legends about royalty spending a night in a specific bed, for example Sawston Hall in Cambridgeshire.
The ‘Weird’ of the Walfords is actually a ‘wyrd’, an old English term meaning fate or destiny.
