We\u2019re joined by Senior Properties Historian Steven Brindle and historian Karen Hearn to discuss the story of Lady Anne Clifford (1590\u20131676).\n\nAs High Sheriff of Westmorland and the last member of one of England\u2019s great medieval dynasties, she became something of a legend in her own lifetime and has remained a celebrated figure in the history of northern England ever since. We\u2019ll reveal how, after fighting a 40-year battle for her right to inherit her father\u2019s estates, she devoted herself to restoring and enhancing the castles and churches on her lands.\n\nTo read more about Lady Anne Clifford\u2019s life, go to www.english-heritage.org.uk/learn/histories/women-in-history/anne-clifford\nLearn more about your ad choices.
