Before we start this History Extra podcast, we want to tell you a bit about this week's sponsor, Warner Hotels.

BBC History Magazine is running two history weekends at Warner Hotels in October and November this year.

So if you were looking for a relaxing and historical UK escape this autumn, let me mark your card about these weekends.

Ideal for history lovers. Each free night stay includes breakfast, dinner and live entertainment,

plus fascinating talks and Q&As with top historians such as Fernredale, Ruth Goodman,

Janina Ramirez, Mark Morris, Gordon Carrera and Tracy Borman. What a treat.

This episode is presented by eBay.

Rob, everyone loves a deal and a bargain from time to time, don't they?

Absolutely, mate. And do you know where you can grab a great deal? Talk to me. Where? The eBay app. Yes, you are correct. You didn't need to talk to me. I already knew it. I love eBay. When you're buying, you can discover loads of hidden gems. There's so many items where you think I would have never found that anywhere else. Then when you're selling, it's so simple and most importantly, free.

It's free, free.

It's free, Rob.

When it's this easy to sell for free and there's great deals on things you love,

you can't help but say when it's eBay.

It excludes vehicles and business sellers.

This is a History Extra production.

So as you can see, the sun's streaming in.

It's a beautiful day.

It's a lovely feeling what you get when you're in here.

Always makes my skin gone edge that this room was probably the place where this life-changing movement started. It feels very tranquil in here.

It does feel very tranquil in here. And actually, I think it would have been just the ideal place

for plotting and planning and having ideas. Yeah, a very peaceful setting for the beginning of quite a radical movement.
