Today we head to a jewel in the crown of County Durham and one of England's finest medieval castles - Raby Castle. With a powerful exterior and superb collections, the castle is steeped in history. The land was granted to the family that would become the Neville’s, an Anglo-Saxon family who survived the re-allocation of land after the Norman conquests that radically changed England. The Neville’s gained power and quickly became not only one of the most powerful families in County Durham but also in England – with one of the Nevilles, Cecily, being the mother to two Kings of England.
