In this episode we kick off the podcast proper with a conversation with Peter Frost-Pennington, member of the family and current resident of the castle.

He takes us on a whistlestop tour through the many twists and turns of the history of Muncaster and the Pennington family, from its prehistoric origins, Roman roots, royal connections and surprising role in WWII, right up to the present day.

It's the perfect way to begin to get to know, or to refresh your knowledge of Muncaster ahead of the exciting episodes we have lined up here on the Podcast.
