Source FM Celebrates Falmouth's 350th Anniversary

Every Thursday and Wednesday, in the run up to the 350th anniversary of the Royal Charter, Chloe Philips presents 'Civil War to Charter', a series of half hour long documenatries, 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.
