Legends of Lancashire

In this richly imagined collection, a seasoned chronicler invites listeners to wander through Lancashire’s forgotten realms, where medieval castles loom, abbeys once echoed with prayer, and the river valleys have known both bloodshed and whispered spells. The opening pages set a tone of reverent storytelling, promising a tapestry woven from documented events and the colorful folklore that has survived the centuries.

Within the first volume, listeners encounter vivid portraits of the county’s larger‑than‑life figures—cavaliers, roundheads, and the enigmatic women reputed as witches—each rendered with a careful balance of fact and legend. The narratives stay rooted in history, steering clear of partisan judgments while bringing to life the dramatic clashes, haunted halls, and resilient spirits that defined Lancashire’s turbulent past.
