This was painted on the wall of this church in 1330. Thatโ€™s seven hundred years ago. And the church was already 300 years old when it was painted. Incredible.

Dewsbury Minster, where a young Patrick Brontรซ served as curate from 1809-11. I don't think I've ever seen so many crocuses in one place. This is just a fraction of them.

Mont-Saint-Michel in France is one of the most famous places in the world. You've seen thousands of photos of it... but what is Mont-Saint-Michel? Who built it? And when? This is a brief history of the world's strangest village...

So once Francesca knows, she can then head into the castle and tell everyone Charlotte is a Traitor? And then Charlotte just has to convince everyone she isnโ€™t? #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK
