Peter France introduces the pick of Timewatch films from Carlisle Castle.

Treason under Elizabeth I became a matter not of actions but of belief. William Shawcross examines the growth of Elizabethan conspiracy theory.

A Black and Terrible Troop was the name given to a gang of thieves and forgers who terrorised Westmorland 300 years ago. Margaret O'Callaghan investigates how the law dealt with malefactors.

The Black Death was the most devastating event in English history. Historians have always assumed the disease was bubonic plague. But recent research suggests something different. Christopher Andrew pursues the debate.

Totnes, Devon
Totnes, in a fine landscape setting on the southern edge of Dartmoor, was founded by the Saxons close to an important crossing on the River Dart. What gives
Totnes its special identity is slate, quarried locally and hung vertically, often in decorative patterns, on many of the old and originally timber-framed houses. Inside some of these houses there is a series of handsome plaster ceilings. Totnes also has, unusually for England, some historic covered shopping arcades known as 'piazzas' and an ancient Guildhall.
'True it isn't quite one of the most beautiful of our small towns', says Alec Clifton -Taylor, 'but it is one of the most distinctive and the preservation of its individuality is vital.'
