Discovering English Churches

on BBC Two England

A series of ten programmes with Donald Sinden
5: God spede the plow....
'... and send us ale corn enow' reads the inscription on the surviving fragment of the medieval plough screen at Cawston Church in Norfolk. St Agnes was the patron saint of the local plough guild and now lends her name to the church. This week DONALD SINDEN looks at how the parish church brought together the religious life and working life of ordinary folk. Cawston Church was built in the final period of Gothic architecture - the perpendicular, when the craft of the master carpenter reached a peak - and its woodwork is among the most spectacular in the country.
