NEW VIDEO! An epic clash between Anglo-Saxons, Scots, and Irish Vikings in 937 AD changed the history of the British Isles. But where did it happen? Historians have spent over a century arguing over where the battle of Brunanburh might have taken place. Now it's my turn. youtu.be/mf6_GIJdgUE

The new @cameronbradford.bsky.social magazine, Tyke Taverner, is in pubs now and contains an account of @cathwarr.bsky.social and I schlepping 22kg of straw around Oxenhope for charity. Want to know more? Support print journalism and pubs by finding a copy in the your Real Ale pub in #Bradford!

We have a new video coming tonight, but in the mean time check out our previous one! I get my hands on some guns and high explosives to explore what it was like as a secret agent in WWII. youtu.be/6C-KDTYkZlg

In a world of artificiality, embrace something real. Touch it. It's there. No greenscreen, no AI. By choosing to make something so obviously false - paint and pastels on a board - it's actually more real than the 'realistic' high tech. And that's why what we do is so different.

It is Yorkshire Day, and you know what that means! Time to plug my book again! A YORKSHIRE YEAR is an almanac of folklore, customs, and traditions from Yorkshire for a whole year - saints, songs, remedies, recipes, and everything in between! Available online and in shops!

MUM'S PAINTINGS ARE ON DISPLAY! Mum submitted some of her paintings to a local exhibition and they're on display! You can see them at the Old Fire Station in East Leeds! Exhibition runs until October.

We're working on the next few videos, so in the mean time do watch our latest one - about WWII spy training, where I get my hands on some guns and high explosives. youtu.be/6C-KDTYkZlg

There's a new video coming tonight so make sure you give the last one a watch! It explores the British involvement in the American Civil war - from economics and politics to the 50,000+ British and Irish soldiers who fought on both sides. youtu.be/Xg-Y4jNcKJ0

Mum has done a new painting! Check out the insta for more!

We have a new video coming tonight, but in the mean time be sure to watch our latest!

Me and @cathwarr.bsky.social smashed the Oxenhope Straw Race today! The event, requiring drinking five pints over 4km while lugging a bale of hay about, is way more fun and accessible than it sounds,and I'd heartily recommend it to folks.

🚨NEW VIDEO!🚨 Buffalo Bill's Wild West show gave Brits a glimpse of the American Frontier. But what was it really like? From guns to cattle herding, I wanted to discover what it was REALLY like as a cowboy. youtu.be/8tVJcqFFB-U

Look who I found!! @badsocialism.bsky.social

Coming soon...

I'm completely self-employed as a historian, so all the costs for research, filming, and production come out of pocket, which can be hard as a working-class filmmaker. Becoming a patreon is a great way of supporting our work - it's only £1 a month and you get a credit! patreon.com/catherinewarr

Last week we released our latest video! We explore the story of the textile industry in Leeds and how it built the modern city we know today ⬇️ youtu.be/cEAYsJqS5y8

Given my website a little makeover! It's simpler now and tells you about all the brilliant stuff I've ever done with my life catherinewarrshistorytours.com

It was great to perform my Magical History Tour last weekend! Thank you to everyone who came along! 📷- @esk8jaimes.bsky.social

Over the weekend we released our latest video! It explores the story of Leeds' wool industry, from medieval sheep farmers to modern industry, and how pioneers like John Barran and Montague Burton revolutionised the world of clothes. youtu.be/cEAYsJqS5y8

Very interesting video, and one that led me to make the connection between Montague Burton (who I had not heard of before) and the recently renovated Burton building in Hull!

NEW VIDEO! How did the wool industry transform Leeds into the city we know today? I explore the story of Leeds' textile industry, from medieval times to modern day ⬇️ youtu.be/cEAYsJqS5y8

I'm extremely pleased to announce that my work has been chosen for preservation in the BFI Digital Collections! It's part of a project to document and preserve online moving images and five of my videos have been archived. Search here: collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/search/s...

COMING FRIDAY 13th 7pm By eck it's bobbins to Burtons! I go back to my local history roots and explore how Leeds' wool industry changed the world - and ended up on the city crest.

Next week I'm playing my history songs at Chapel FM in Leeds! www.chapelfm.co.uk/events/list/...

OTD in 1944, the D-Day landings took place. In the months leading up to it, SOE agents like Yvonne Cormeau and Muriel Byck worked with French Resistance fighters to cripple German forces in France. Our latest video explores that story. youtu.be/5mHNOtAXVrs

Delighted to be playing one half of a double-bill at Chapel FM in Leeds in a few weeks! Tickets and info here: www.chapelfm.co.uk/events/list/...

My book turns two years old today! In 2023 I published my first book, an almanac of Yorkshire folklore, customs and traditions. It's been very well received and is still available online and in shops. It's a great gift for anyone who loves local history or weird local traditions.

Last week we released our latest video!

Had a few weeks off but back to posting Mum's paintings! This time it's a chilly scene of Upper Wharfedale. Check out more of her work over at ⬇️

Yesterday I spoke at Sheriff Hutton about Yorkshire folklore and traditions!

We released our latest video over the weekend! It tells the story of the brave men and women of the Special Operations Executive who served as wireless operators behind enemy lines in occupied France, and it's some of the best work we've done. youtu.be/5mHNOtAXVrs

I've watched a few of Catherine Warr's documentaries now and they've all been thoroughly intriguing, enthusiastically presented, and well researched (with references!). And I won't lie, hearing a fellow Yorkshire accent for the delivery is kinda refreshing.

We worked really hard on this and are extremely proud of how it turned out! We're really reaching broadcast levels of quality, so if you're interested in WW2 or the secret world of spies, please do give it a watch and share!

Thank you! 😊😊
