Episode 208 – The Ups & Downs of Owning a Tudor House with Brigitte Webster

Guest Bio

Brigitte Webster is a qualified teacher of home economics and history, making her the perfect ‘accomplished’ Tudor housewife in modern day Britain.

As a competent and experienced cook with a deep passion for Tudor history she fully immersed herself in archaeological, experimental cookery which also motivated her to grow period vegetables, herbs and fruits to achieve the most authentic end results.

In 2019 she and her husband bought a small Tudor manor that had escaped ruthless modernisation. This will form the hub of their Tudor & 17th century Experience where guests can enjoy hospitality in a place for like-minded people who can come together and embrace a stepping back into culinary Tudor England.

Brigitte has appeared on Professor Suzannah Lipscomb’s TV series Walking Tudor England and is a regular contributor to the magazine Tudor Places. She also appears in popular history podcasts. In 2019 Brigitte was a guest speaker at the first TudorConexposition in Pennsylvania.

The launch of her new book EATING WTH THE TUDORS (Pen & Sword, July 2023) will be complimented by regular Tudor cookery videos with recipes from the book. She is currently working on her next book A TUDOR GARDEN IN YOUR BACKYARD which is scheduled for publication in 2025. You can follow Brigitte’s daily Tudor life on
