With Leonard Maguire as The Rev Andrew Clark
When the Great War began, 70 years ago, Andrew Clark resolved to keep a diary to register the impact of the war on the small Essex village of Great Leighs of which he was Rector. The diary, consisting of over three million words in 92 volumes, was left to the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
James Munson has explored this unpublished and unique village history.
