Richmond Castle North Yorkshire
Visited last October, Richmond Castle is located on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales and sits high above the River Swale. It stands in the middle of the market town of Richmond. It is one of the finest Norman castles in Britain and only two stone built castles in England are equal in age to it and they are at Colchester and Durham.
Richmond castle has had a long and varied history, beginning with the Norman invasion in 1066 and the building of the Castle commenced in 1071 as a military stronghold on land gifted to Alan the Red of Brittany by William the Conqueror as reward for his part in the victory over King Harold. King William the Lion of Scotland was imprisoned in Richmond Castle, as was David II after his defeat in 1346. Charles I also lodged in the castle during his journey south in 1647 after he had surrendered to the Scots.

Richmond Castle: Conserving the Cell Block Graffiti
The thousands of graffiti written and drawn by prisoners and others from the First World War onwards on the walls of a cell block at Richmond Castle form a unique and remarkable record. But the graffiti are fragile – they line the walls of a 19th-century building that wasn’t designed to last.
Find out why it’s so important to preserve the cell block and graffiti, and how English Heritage plans to protect them for the long term:
London Districts: Richmond (Documentary)
Episode 38 looks at the south west London district of 'Richmond'. Watch #LondonDistricts episodes on TV with bonus content @ Sky 117, Freeview 8, Virgin Media 159 and YouView 8 via London Live. Subtitles available under video via CC button.
----------------------------------------
Richmond is the principal district inside the massive London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames along with the areas of Kew, Twickenham and Hampton to name a few.
The view we are looking at are the meadows and riverbanks of Petersham, a village on the eastern end of the district and Ham Lands, a nature reserve in the Ham area which crosses over into Richmond.
This district is as large as most inner London boroughs and more than 75% of it is Richmond Park wrapped inside an 8 mile, Grade II listed wall. It's 7 times bigger than Hyde Park, 32 times bigger than Greenwich Park and Green Park can fit inside it 60 times. At 2,300 acres, it is by far the largest of all the Royal parks. About 650 red and fallow deer roam around in there freely with the public and they shape the way the park looks.
Richmond upon Thames is the only borough in Greater London stretching across both sides of our meandering river situated 8 miles away from Charing Cross in transport zone 4.
Until 1501, Richmond was known as Shene. The last two letters were later swapped around to read s-h-e-e-n. Henry VIII's dad, the last English king to win his throne on the field of battle, renamed the place Richmond. The word is adapted from old French Richmont which is simply rich or splendid together with mont which means hill.
So, we're here in Richmond to enjoy this gorgeous day, by the river, fantastic foodie market. We're drinking Rose by Conte Leopardi; our wines are naturally made, just gorgeous drinking. No sugars added on a sunny day out in Richmond close by the Thames.
Richmond is a place that pays homage to its becoming. It includes a free museum which showcases its history and produces the remembrance poppies sold each November for Remembrance Day.
The atmosphere in Richmond is perfectly suited to its infrastructural make-up. On a nice day, the riverside quickly becomes full of people partaking in the beautiful setting by the river. If you plan to see all Richmond has to offer, I would advise renting a bike, a row boat or taking a cruise up and down it.
This place has a reputation for being well looked after and visually pretty. It is also officially the London district with the lowest amount of poverty and has very low-crimes rates. It's no secret that Richmond is the district of choice for several of our most renowned international actors, musicians and athletes. The list is long but you may find the likes of Angelina Jolie, Tom Hardy, Jane Horrocks, Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger and ahem Rick Astley walking past you.
This is the church of St Mary Magdalene, the sinner who Jesus reformed by casting 7 demons out of her. After she told her mates what he did, they also became his followers.
Richmond Theatre opened in 1899 beside Little Green with a performance of 'As You Like It'.
At the heart of the town sits Richmond Green which is almost square open grassland. The locals tell me this is the real treasure of Richmond. They go there to chill out on summer weekends and public holidays. It was traditionally used for archery since the 16th century but is now much better known as one of the places cricket matches began in England. The 92-year-old celebrated broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough actively lives in a house circling this green and describes Richmond as his ''favourite place by a long way''.
Gelateria Danieli was birthed in Richmond making authentic gelato more readily available in the UK. Richmond Bridge is 243 years old, the oldest surviving bridge over the River Thames. Ham house here is the most completely in tact one across Europe from 1610.

Richmond Castle EVPs October 2018
Another visit to Richmond Castle in Richmondshire to record some more EVPs and try shooting in Full Spectrum
I had a visitation the night before so I wanted to see if they would talk to me
had a very graphic vision at the top of the stairs to the upper floor (Not the roof) A large man was held by a man on either side of him - he was facing down the stairs , another man came up behind him put his left arm around the neck and thrust a dagger in his right into the mans ribs - very violently...
the large man was then released and tumbled down the stairs.. it is of interest to me that I received evps of murder and killing children while in the keep
There is also a short session conducted in the old chapel
if you are not interested in spirit research or spirit voices then please just go elsewhere
