  • E2 The Witches of Belvoir Castle
    Nov 4 2022

    We're back for round two. This week Aimee tells the tale of the Flower family of Bottesford, also known as the Witches of Belvoir Castle. The tragic story of three women who were accused of witchcraft in 1618. Were they truly guilty or was it all a complete stitch-up? We also discuss what we would both be like as monarchs, and talk about delicious, delicious doughnuts.

  • E1 The Plague Village of Eyam
    Oct 28 2022

    It's our first episode! This time, we investigate the tragic impact of The Black Death on a small village in Derbyshire. As disease and and death descended upon Eyam, its inhabitants decided to do something incredibly brave to protect their neighbours. Join us as we explore what life must have been like in these dire times, and the parallels to our life today. We also decide that Stoke-on-Trent is the new capital of England, and solidify our status as old crones.
