Hello tourers, and I hope you are looking forward to this year’s visit to a corner of England – to the South East corner in this case, to Kent and Sussex.

In preparation for the tour, I have done three episodes on the region’s history. There is absolutely no need to listen to them, of course – after all you will soon see for yourself! But if you do, I hope you enjoy them.

And I am looking forward to meeting you in September!

Episode 1: Introductions and Anglo Saxon England

Episode 2: From Conquest to Restoration: 1066 to 1660

Episode 3: A Dream of England: 1660 to the Second World War
