Grapevine Stories

Interview with Charles Berkeley

I had a great chat with Charlie Berkeley recently, at his family home, Berkeley Castle, in Gloucestershire. Charlie's family have lived there for 27 generations and many historical events have taken place at this beautiful castle.

Charlie shares some of the fascinating history and notable events that have taken place at the castle, including the death of King Edward II who came to a rather grisly end there, in 1327. 

We also hear some pretty spooky stories experienced by Charlie’s mother over the years!
