Secrets of Lancaster Castle Documentary
Dan Jones is exploring one of the oldest – and most fearsome — castles ever built: Lancaster Castle.
Dating back to Roman times, Lancaster Castle, owned by The Duchy of Lancaster, has witnessed scenes of historical, cultural and political significance throughout the centuries, including incidents of religious persecution, the trials of the Lancashire Witches and 200 executions. Until 2011 it was an HM Prison and it is still a working Crown Court.
In this episode, Jones explores Lancaster's grisly history of crime and punishment. Lancaster Castle has been the scene of notable trials, scores of executions and has housed prisoners for centuries, until as recently as 2011. Today, the castle is full of relics from its past, including a scold's bridle, a bizarre form of punishment reserved exclusively for women. Resembling a muzzle or cage for the head it had a padlock at the rear and a projecting spike that would have been held firmly inside the mouth when the bridle was closed.
Dan discovers a dungeon that was also used to imprison witches. One of the most famous witch trials in English history took place at Lancaster Castle almost 400 years ago. On August 20th 1612, 10 people who were convicted of witchcraft at the Summer Assize in Lancaster Castle, went to the gallows on the moors above town. Between 1584-1646, 15 Catholics were executed in Lancaster for their faith. Jones shares the story of Father Arrowsmith who was hanged, drawn and quartered and visits the church where Fr. Arrowsmith's hand is on display. Miracles of healing are said to occur at its touch.

HM the Queen 'Duke of Lancaster' Visit to Lancaster Castle. 29/05/15
HM the Queen 'Duke of Lancaster' Visit to Lancaster Castle.
Filmed on 29th May 2015.
Her Majesty then drove the short distance to the castle for a ceremonial arrival, followed by a performance of Richard II from a local theatre company.
The Queen was visiting the castle in her official capacity as Duke of Lancaster and has made regular trips since taking the title more than 60 years ago.
One of two royal duchies, the other being Cornwall, the monarch has held the Lancaster title since the end of the Wars of the Roses at Bosworth Field in 1485.
The war, which was fought between the houses of Lancaster and York, ended in a Lancaster triumph and saw the York title become a subsidiary of the Crown.
Although the Wars of the Roses are long over, the monarch continues to use the title Duke of Lancaster continues to be used, even if they are female.
At gatherings of Lancastrians within the County Palatine and worldwide, the toast is: 'The Queen, Duke of Lancaster!'.

The Great Britain XII 60009+44871 Awaken Lancaster Castle 30/04/19
On the 30th of April 2019, the Great Britain XII Railtour traveled from Preston- Carlisle-Edinburgh via Shap and we see her power it's way through Lancaster Castle as it heads north towards Scotland and Edinburgh.
The first shot is the engine movement from Carnforth Steamtown to Preston before returning a couple of hours later. I was surprised to see the a4 in front of the Black 5, it was a nice surprise considering 60009's future is still hanging in the balance.
I hope you enjoy this video. k
