Series 2 Episode 11: Northumberland

On this week's episode, Martin and Eleanor head to Northumberland, heart of the once mighty Kingdom of Northumbria.

Once they've had a quick chat about Samuel Johnson Commemoration Day and the Southwark Fair, they blow the dust off their manuscripts to illuminate the history and folklore of Northumberland - from the Mesolithic remains of the Howick House and stunning sites like Bamburgh Castle to tales of boggarts, bluecaps, the Beast of Bolam Lake, and much more besides. Then it's time for the main event: Martin's telling of "The Fish and the Ring."
