Episode description
Today’s episode is a welcome break from all the news. I’m chatting with Melanie Backe-Hansen, who is a House Historian. Her stories are fascinating, as she’s unearthed the histories of hundreds of homes - from Queen Elizabeth I, to MI5 early origins, to ghostly stories of previous owners visiting the current owners. A delightful and fascinating episode.
Her new book, A House through Time, co-authored with historian and presenter David Olusoga, is out soon.
