Speaking with shadows: The Workhouse at Framlingham Castle

We’re still busy behind the scenes, so in the meantime we wanted to share a special series with you called Speaking with Shadows.   Framlingham Castle was home to the fiercely powerful Dukes of Norfolk for 400 years – so how did it end up as a workhouse in the 17th century? Join Josie Long as she delves into the castle’s second life and English society’s changing attitudes towards poverty over the centuries. Hear about people who lived and worked in the workhouse, and why life wasn’t always like a scene from Oliver Twist.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
