Every Thursday and Wednesday, in the run up to the 350th anniversary of the Royal Charter, Source FM is presenting a series of half hour documentaries. Chloe Philips presents 'Civil War to Charter', which explains the history behind this momentous event.
Although the granting of the charter took place in 1661, the roots of this charter lie in events that happened 15 years earlier, when Cornwall was wracked with civil war and Pendennis Castle was under siege from the parliamentary army. In this series, Chloe, with help from other historians, explores the history of the civil war in Cornwall, focusing in on the siege of Pendennis Castle, examining how these events led to the grant of the charter, which will be commemorated all the 14 Falmouths across the world on October 5th this year.
The programmes air every Thursday throughout September at 10.30am and they are repeated on a Wednesday at 3.00pm.
So that's the hit list of new shows at Source FM. All these hidden gems, and of course the regular AllStars of the Source FM schedule, supporting you through your day.
All you have to do is listen...!
