S2 Ep12: Bricks, Peas, and a Dodgy Death: Unearthing the past with BAFTA-winning producer Juliet Charlesworth

Unearth the Past: A family history & genealogy podcast

Embark on a voyage through time with BAFTA-winning producer Juliet Charlesworth, as she pieces together the intriguing puzzle of her family's legacy. In the company of this British drama powerhouse, we venture into the posh origins and humble beginnings of the Reeves Charlesworth line, unearthing a narrative rich with heartwarming connections to the past.
The saga continues with the industrious tale of Reeves Charlesworth Limited, a company that laid bricks and built futures since 1895. The firm not only revolutionised housing development but also championed the welfare of the working class. Juliet shares personal snippets from her family's history that reveal the essence of the Charlesworth spirit—innovators with a penchant for bachelor's mushy peas and a vested interest in their community's health and wellbeing.
Closing our journey, we explore the colourful tapestry of Juliet's maternal family tree, with connections to American pioneers, literary icons, and possibly Scottish royals. Join us for this emotional and enlightening exploration, which promises to be as captivating as the stories Juliet brings to life on screen.
