Great review! I’m looking forward to the talk James will give on this very subject at Harvington Hall History Festival in July. And I can’t wait for your talk either, Nathen 🙂.
I never believe everything I hear from tour guides anywhere. My favourite British castle tour was quite clear about what was 12c, what was 17/18c, and what was Victorian.
They are entertaining. None more so than the Tower wardens, one of the best tours. But they have a nice place to show off. And (colonialism aside), the Crown Jewels really are spectacular.
I suspect tour guides everywhere in the world embellish freely. There may be some bits of lore that go about on the space station!

Sounds wonderful!

Regards to your admirable feline.
They do say some questionable things, including the Tower of London wardens, but their principal role in many respects is to entertain!
