200 years since Waterloo: Duke of Wellington's restored house
June 18th marks 200 years since the Battle of Waterloo, when the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, beat Napoleon.
In honour of the Iron Duke, the rooms in the house in which he died in 1852 have been restored by English Heritage and are being opened to the public.
They are in Walmer Castle in Kent in 1852. He moved there after Queen Victoria gave him the title of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
Our reporter, Zoe Conway, has been given a tour of his rooms by the curator Rowena Willard-Wright.
