    The English Heritage Podcast

    Every object has a story to tell. But how can one mystery item lead us on a journey through history, people and places? 
    In the English Heritage podcast, comedian and writer Amy Matthews brings you entertaining tales from unexpected places. Each week, we begin with a mystery item and with the help of English Heritage experts and special guests, Amy explores what our past can tell us about our present and perhaps our future.
    Follow us wherever you get your podcasts.

    Speaking with shadows: The Workhouse at Framlingham Castle Apr 10, 2025
    Show notes

    We’re still busy behind the scenes, so in the meantime we wanted to share a special series with you called Speaking with Shadows.

    Framlingham Castle was home to the fiercely powerful Dukes of Norfolk for 400 years – so how did it end up as a workhouse in the 17th century? Join Josie Long as she delves into the castle’s second life and English society’s changing attitudes towards poverty over the centuries. Hear about people who lived and worked in the workhouse, and why life wasn’t always like a scene from Oliver Twist.
