Episode Details

Exciting news for history enthusiasts in Leicestershire! Bradgate House, a 500-year-old ruin in Bradgate Park, is reopening to the public on April 1, 2026. The Bradgate Park Trust has used over 7,000 handmade bricks to repair and stabilize the site. The formal garden walls are also under construction. These ruins hold historical significance as the believed birthplace of Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen. Last year, restorers replaced the chapel ceiling, fixed the monument, and gave it a fresh look inside. Future plans include rebuilding the staircase tower, adding a viewing platform, and strengthening the big kitchen fireplace. Visitors can explore from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting that day.
