In this new series in collaboration with The Nest Collective, we explore the stories behind traditional English folk songs that have connections to historic places.

Journey west to Falmouth on Cornwall's southern coast and you will find the twin Tudor castles of Pendennis and St Mawes. Built under the command Henry VIII to defend the Carrick Roads estuary, these squat circular forts gave 360-degree views over the waters and any approaching danger. High Germany, performed for us by Jon Boden, evokes the many partings that have taken place at Pendennis over the centuries.
