Description
Kettlethorpe, a small group of buildings in the English countryside, has been home to many lives shaped by significant events and personal experiences. Its history is woven from the stories of those who lived there, including Katherine Swynford, whose life was marked by romance and great change. The house's past passes through various periods, from the Danish invasion and Norman Conquest to the Battle of Lincoln Fair, the Pilgrimage of Grace, and the Civil War. These events took place on Kettlethorpe's doorstep, leaving an indelible mark on its history. The estate has also seen the rise and fall of grand country houses, eventually becoming a farmhouse and dower house for a hunting widow. This story focuses on the lives of those who lived in the "middling sort", people whose experiences are often overlooked but are within our imagination's compass.
