As well as being owners of the location of the Battle of Hastings, where King Harold fell to William the Conqueror in one of the most decisive battles in history, English Heritage sites have also inspired many writers. Bram Stoker, who immortalised the Whitby Abbey ruins in Dracula and Sir Walter Scott, who based his novel Kenilworth on the story of Elizabeth 1 and Kenilworth Castle.
Charles Darwin’s notebooks, Queen Victoria’s bathing machine and the Duke of Wellington’s boots are some of the artefacts also in their care.
