Christopher BarrettHOST
Yeah, absolutely.
Christopher BarrettHOST
And your journey, I mean, your journey started quite a long time ago in this industry at the English Heritage.
Christopher BarrettHOST
Can you just talk us through kind of a little bit about, you know, what inspired you to get involved in this industry and what those first steps were?
Rebecca Kane BurtonGUEST
You're right.
Rebecca Kane BurtonGUEST
So 30 years ago when I started, I was, and still am, a historian.
Rebecca Kane BurtonGUEST
And probably this is the weirdest thing to perhaps ended up on this stage talking about this with all of you.
Rebecca Kane BurtonGUEST
But I started English Heritage, had no idea the turn my career was going to take.
Rebecca Kane BurtonGUEST
But actually it started because Kenwood House, which some of you may know up in Hampstead Heath, was the home of the original picnic concert.
Arthur Uther PendragonGUEST
So my order have since then been against them.
Arthur Uther PendragonGUEST
And we're against another number of different government quangos, some of which now, like English Heritage, have become... registered charities but that does not mean that they are any better in fact they are worse now than they were in the day when they were a government huango because all they're interested in is making money much the same the national trust all around the country all the sacred sites they are trying to charge us to park there they are trying to charge us to worship there so i am arguing that it's a pay to pray policy.
Arthur Uther PendragonGUEST
And I'm fighting it.
Arthur Uther PendragonGUEST
I'm fighting to get ancient human remains returned to Stonehenge and put back in the ground where they were.

Regan ShantyHOST
I also wanted to add a little bit more about the discussion that I had with Arthur, because I've alluded to it before in previous episodes of the podcast, which is pay to worship.
Regan ShantyHOST
And that's definitely a concerning problem in regards to sacred sites, with a growing number of them charging admission.
Regan ShantyHOST
And as Arthur pointed out, you've got the National Trust and English Heritage who are holding these sites, looking after these sites.
Regan ShantyHOST
But the prices to go there are rising and rising.
Emma Ann HughesHOST
to today.
Emma Ann HughesHOST
And whenever I go around kind of like National Trust or English Heritage properties it's always mind-boggling to see some of the adaptations that have been made that may not that certainly would not be allowed now but at different points in history people have made to some of these properties.
Emma Ann HughesHOST
I mean Neil from a claims and restoration perspective I mean Laura touched Laura Michaela touched on there you know the complexity of these buildings and How important is it having the right experts involved from the beginning of a loss related to these buildings?
Neil MiddletonGUEST
It's absolutely crucial to get the right people involved at the earliest opportunity.
JoelHOST
It's different, is it?
AlexHOST
So you've got English Heritage.
AlexHOST
Yeah, they look after all the forestry kind of sites.
AlexHOST
Safe to say.
Amy MatthewsHOST
In fact, there are far more penises than women in the Bayeux Tapestry.
Amy MatthewsHOST
Hello, I'm Amy Matthews and welcome to the English Heritage Podcast, where we tell extraordinary tales of the past, its people and the places they lived.
Amy MatthewsHOST
This is the fifth in our special series on 1066 and the events surrounding William the Conqueror's invasion of England.
Amy MatthewsHOST
And there's no doubt about it.
41 MINS LATER
Amy MatthewsHOST
Next time, I'll be finding out about one of the bloodiest and most brutal periods in English history, William the Conqueror's scorched earth policy that has come to be known as the Harrying of the North.

AdamHOST
Wow.
NickHOST
If you're not like, I think it's English Heritage who run it.
NickHOST
Yeah.
NickHOST
Which is, I don't think they have loads of stuff, but like around the country.
speaker_2NARRATOR
It was, for all practical purposes, a paperweight with a good story attached to it.
speaker_2NARRATOR
In 2018, Phillips, then in his 90s, contacted English Heritage and offered to return the core.
speaker_2NARRATOR
He was getting old.
speaker_2NARRATOR
He wanted the core to go back where it belonged.
James KoppertHOST
And I don't know if we've mentioned this before, but that's the calm version of what's going on in the castle, in that house.
James KoppertHOST
English Heritage themselves got an exorcism of that building because it wasn't just the sounds that were going on.
James KoppertHOST
People were seeing a woman with keys walking about the building to the point staff were too terrified to lock up.
James KoppertHOST
Now we've got this kind of residual sound of footsteps going on which is less frightening but still a little bit creepy.
James KoppertHOST
I would love to be locked in there overnight.
James KoppertHOST
English Heritage, if you're listening, there's none of your properties that have lost visitors because they might be haunted.
James KoppertHOST
If you can let me in and investigate it and capture some evidence and maybe chat to them, then I would very much like to do that.
James KoppertHOST
The other thing, like the shelves falling, that's an interesting one.
Matthew HughesHOST
Okay.
Matthew HughesHOST
The title was taken in May 2022 when 1,369 vampires gathered at Whitby Abbey at an event organized by English Heritage for the 125th anniversary of the publication of Dracula.
Matthew HughesHOST
Oh, that's nice.
Matthew HughesHOST
And that beats the previous record set in 2011 in Virginia in the US.
Alys DenbyGUEST
Absolutely.
Ed VaizeyHOST
Do you think cemeteries are great? I mean, the reason I find this really interesting, because, you know, you think about things like English Heritage and the National Trust.
Ed VaizeyHOST
You think about the War Graves Commission.
Ed VaizeyHOST
Yes.
