23 - 29 June 2025 - Broad Chalke, Salisbury
The podcast from the Chalke Valley History Festival
Released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings
In 1944 Highclere Castle was a home for child evacuees; General Patton arrived for lunch in June; whilst two P-38 planes crashed just above the Castle whilst practising for D-Day. The Land Girls and retired estate workers were on the farm and in the kitchen gardens – Dig for Victory was part of the survival plan. Fiona Carnarvon paints a fascinating portrait of an estate at war.
