43. Eleanor: A 200-Mile Walk in Search of England’s Lost Queen
Forum
What happens when you follow a medieval funeral procession, on foot, 700 years later? Chalke favourite Alice Loxton returns with another irresistible historical adventure. In 1290, the body of Eleanor of Castile was carried 200 miles from Lincoln to London, marked by the magnificent Eleanor Crosses commissioned by her grieving husband, Edward I. Retracing that solemn route step by step, Alice brings to life a formidable, often overlooked queen and the world she inhabited. Blending sharp insight, humour and vivid storytelling, this is history at its most human; a journey through landscape, memory and the making of England itself.
