About this audio guide
This guide to Dunham Massey, the deer-park estate outside Manchester, follows Henry Booth, Lord Delamer, the lord of this house, to Westminster Hall in January sixteen eighty-six, where he stood trial for treason over the Monmouth rebellion. It turns on the judge sitting over him, George Jeffreys, who was no stranger to Booth, and on the single witness the crown brought to swear against him. You'll also hear about his three spells in the Tower of London. Best heard looking out over the deer park.
