An extraordinary historical journey through England. From Alice Loxton, author of the acclaimed bestseller Eighteen
A Waterstones Best History Book of 2025

'Joyous. The perfect walk through history' - Sir Tony Robinson, actor, presenter and author

'Whimsical, charming and cosy. Will make you want to take a long walk, look at some churchyards, and drink a lovely cup of tea' - Alice Winn, bestselling author of In Memoriam

In 1290, England mourned the death of a queen, Eleanor of Castile, beloved wife of King Edward I, the warrior king. Her body was carried on a 200-mile journey from Lincoln to London, a solemn procession that would become immortalized in stone. To mark the places where it stopped overnight, a heartbroken Edward commissioned twelve magnificent Eleanor Crosses.

More than seven centuries later, bestselling historian Alice Loxton set herself an epic challenge: following in history's footsteps by walking the entire 200-mile funeral route on the corresponding dates.

As Alice journeys in search of England's forgotten Queen, over ancient paths and modern motorways, history comes alive in surprising ways. Lively and entertaining, Eleanor uncovers the extraordinary life and formidable character of this lesser-known royal, revealing her inspiring legacy and the hidden history of Britain.

'Beautiful, elegiac, honest and compelling . . . a modern-day pilgrimage walking in the footsteps of one of the great forgotten queens' - Kate Mosse, bestselling author of The Map of Bones

'Loxton has the novelist's skill of seeing the world through her characters' eyes, and the historian's accuracy of vision' - Philippa Gregory, bestselling author of Normal Women

'Eleanor is dazzling, alive with wit, elegance and insight. A book that makes history feel urgent, intimate and unforgettable' - Rob Rinder, bestselling author of The Trial

Alice Loxton is one of Britain’s most exciting young historians. She has a loyal following of 3 million across Instagram, TikTok and X. She is an experienced writer and broadcaster, as seen on Sky Arts, Channel 5, the BBC and History Hit. Loxton is the author of the acclaimed book UPROAR!, which was longlisted for Blackwell’s Book of the Year. Her second book, Eighteen, was an instant Sunday Times bestseller, was named Blackwell’s Book of the Year and was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year.
