We’re celebrating the anniversary of Norwich Castle’s mighty and majestic stone Keep, completed in 1121 by King Henry 1. The son of William the Conqueror built it not only as a royal palace, but also as an expression of the wealth and power of the Normans, the new rulers of our land. 900 years later, we've been wondering what ‘being regal’ means to people today. Is being regal the same as being...

Please in the future, dedicate singular episodes to singular weapon and armour types. 👍
Would it be possible to add subtitles for those who don't know BSL?
Excellent presentation!
I love how passionate this woman is about this book! Very inspiring. Thank you.
Safety First. ✅️
just the video type i was lookig for, great work thanks!
I went here for a trip

Thank you for sharing these remarkable deeply personal works. Viewing in Oakland California.
Thank you
Make a video about leather armor
All they’ve ever done is messed around with it. Just leave the place alone so people can see it how it was. The original castle.

What a very interesting film and it is so helpful to understand how it was to be - and has been - conserved. Look forward to seeing it in the museum. Thank you for bringing this to us.
“Or as the Normans would say: *voilà!* “ That’s some really clever writing.
process is nicely explained; tapestry is beautiful in every aspect thank you
What a wonderful document. There is so much to be learnt from it about the culture and beliefs of the time - will it be digitised and/or transcribed to make it available to the widest possible audience?
Thank you for sharing this knowledgement!
Padding cloth armour was not just worn under other more expensive armour types, but also over it to catch arrows (and there shrapnel)
Interesting but maybe you could do a video on the wheelchair access as that will be of interest to disabled people and parents with small children
Really interesting. Thank you for the insight👍🏻
Dunno if its possible to get you to answer but. For the sugarloaf, was it possible to just have a arming cap, mail coif and then the sugarloaf or was it too big and needed a skullcap underneath aswell
Shame they won't all be displayed at the same time.
Another name the gambeson went by is a "jack" as if any more names were needed.
Wow, really nice.
I want to say, that even in its faded state, this particular tapestry is gorgeous. There is enough colour and detail that survives to give a strong hint of its original appearance when woven in the early sixteenth century. Although the magnificent Devonshire Hunt Tapestries of the V&A are earlier in date, there is a similarity of vividness and design that makes this tapestry a delight to gaze on. No wonder, tapestries were the highest aspirational luxury - even up to the eighteenth century.
That looks amazing
An illuminating exposition, along with the associated blog. It prompts expectations for the opening of the re-fashioned Castle Museum in Norwich.
Wait. They wanted warmth AND heat? That’s crazy! I’m sorry. Don’t mean to make fun. I really enjoyed the video.
Such a good insight - I saw the exhibition but this gives a lasting perspective. Thanks Ruth

Fantastic engagement with the community! How fun! I wish I was there to partake of the enthusiasm.
That Norman joke was the last straw. Consider me subscribed 👍
Wonderful ! I can't wait !
I think the reason the early crusader helmets had a flat top was that they were primarily used by cavalry, and so their wearers had less of a chance to get hit from above, and mainly had to worry about lances and arrows.
I heard that a flat top hairstyle was popular at the time so they had a flat top instead
I found a photo in a book: the variety of plants-richard mabey. Very good depiction by the painter of the oak of Poringland.
What a fun idea! What a great way to get people involved in the museum and history.
Thank you Wendy!
